(i) How many roses are left to be planted?
(ii) Choose the subtraction statement which gives the same result as the number of roses left to be planted.

• A. (i) 395 (ii) 645 − 250
• B. (i) 390 (ii) 498 − 108
• C. (i) 389 (ii) 865 − 476
• D. (i) 399 (ii) 567 − 168

Answer 1

The correct option is C (i) 389 (ii) 865 − 476

Total number of roses = 984
Number of roses planted = 595
Number of roses left to be planted =$984-595=389$


Option A
$498-108=390$


Option B
$865-476=389$

Option C
$645-250=395$


Option D
$567-168=399$


Hence, only the equation in Option B gives the number of roses left to be planted as 389.
