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.
