Grade 3 Word Problem — Durable Learning Test
Problem: Stickers Left
Tom has 75 stickers. He gives 28 to his friend. How many stickers does Tom have left?
Think: subtract the stickers he gave away.
Before choosing an answer, explain how you solve this subtraction.
Choose your answer:
Hint:
You must regroup because 5 − 8 cannot be done without borrowing. Apply regrouping and borrowing method. See explanation on how to do it.
Explanation:
6
15
75
− 28
--------
47
Regroup tens and ones:
Borrow 1 ten → ones become 10 + 5 = 15
Borrow 1 hundred → tens become 7 - 1 = 6 because you give 1 ten to ones
If student chose 47: Correct — 75 minus 28 equals 47.
If student chose 57: Too large — you added instead of subtracting.
If student chose 37: Too small — check your subtraction steps.
If student chose 67: Too large — you subtracted only 8, not 28.
