Question

In a garden, there are $758$ blue roses and $534$ pink roses. How many fewer pink roses are there than blue roses?

• A. $244$
• B. $224$
• C. $216$
• D. $238$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $224$

Given, there are $758$ blue roses and $534$ pink roses in a garden.
So, the difference between the number of pink roses and the number of blue roses $=758-534$

Let’s represent each of these numbers based on their place value and subtract them.
$758$ can be decomposed as $700+50+8$.
$534$ can be decomposed as $500+30+4$.



So, there are $224$ fewer pink roses than blue roses.
