(a) Explanation Given information: The number of plants bought by Eileen Townsend is 72 and number of plants planted in front bed is 29 . Formula used: Steps for subtracting a whole number, Step 1: Line up the place values by writing the whole numbers in columns - units, tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on. Step 2: Starting from the right with the units column, subtract the digits in each column. Step 3: A digit must be borrowed from the column to the left of the working column, if the column cannot be subtracted. Calculation: To calculate the number of plants left unplanted just subtract the number of plants planted from the total number of plants. Subtract 29 from 72 . 72 − 2 9 _ Check the units column, 9 cannot be subtracted from 2 so borrow 10 from the tens column (b) To determine To calculate: The number of more plants needed to fill the flower bed if the remaining flower beds have room for 65 bedding plants. (c) To determine To calculate: The total number of plants brought by Eileen Townsend if she initially bought 72 bedding plants.
