Answer:
peter: subtraction mistake at unit place . wrote 6 in place of 9
Jeff: subtraction mistake at tens place: wrote 4 while the correct digit is 3
peter: He has written 3 at unit place while correct digit is 2
John: he has carried 1 twice from 5 at hundred place and then subtracted 2 from it which gives value 1 at hundred place.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have to subtract 503 from 269
9
4 10 13
503
-269
____
234
Solution
since 3 is less than 9 , we take a carry from 0 but 0 cannot be carries so we take 1 carry from 5\
thus
5 becomes 4, 0 becomes 10,
now 10 can be give 1 carry to 3 at unit place, so 3 becomes 13
now 9 is subtracted from 13
13-4 = 9
this is the mistake of Peter
he has written 6 at unit place which should be
peter: subtraction mistake at unit place . wrote 6 in place of 9
____________________________________________________
since , 1 is carried from 10 at tens place, 9 is left at tens place
so we know subtract 6 from 9 at tens place
9-6 = 3
Here mistake is done by Jeff
Jeff: subtraction mistake at tens place: wrote 4 while the correct digit is 3
________________________________________________
at hundred place,
one is taken from 5 , hence 4 is left at hundred place
we have to subtract 2 from 4
4-2 = 2
hence,
Here, mistake done by both both Peter and jeff
peter: He has written 3 at unit place while correct digit is 2
John: he has carried 1 twice from 5 at hundred place and then subtracted 2 from it which gives value 1 at hundred place.
