(ii) Choose the subtraction statement which gives the same result as the number of daisies left to be planted.

• A. (i) 389 (ii) 631 − 242
• B. (i) 387 (ii) 553 − 166
• C. (i) 385 (ii) 823 − 438
• D. (i) 388 (ii) 985 − 597

Answer 1

The correct option is D (i) 388 (ii) 985 − 597

Total number of daisies = 865
Number of daisies planted = 477
Number of daisies left to be planted $=865-477=388$


Option A
$985-597=388$


Option B
$553-166=387$


Option C
$631-242=389$


Option D
$823-438=385$


Hence, only the equation in Option A gives the number of daisies left to be planted as 388.
