Subtraction Statement Sums Without Borrow

In statement sum we are given a statement. We have to analyse the statement and then take appropriate action.

Following steps are required to solve the statement

1. Read the statement carefully

2. Find the values that are given

3. Find the quantity which is required

4. Then perform the process to reach the desired result.

Let us consider the following example;

Reena's sister had 15 story books and she gave 3 story books to Reena. How many story books are left with Reena's sister?

1. We will first analyse the statement

2. We will find the values that are given

In the question it is given that

Reena's sister had 15 story books and she gave 3 story books to Reena.

So, No. of story books Reena's mother bought = 15

No. of story books given to Reena = 3

3. We will find the quantity which is required

In the question it is asked that

How many story books are left with Reena's mother?

To Find No.of story books left

We will perform subtraction as we are supposed to find the no. of story books left

15 - 3 = ?

We will perform the required operation

On solving we get

Hence the story books left with Reena's sister are 12.
