How do you evaluate 98-465?

Answer 1

563

Answer 2

First, you calculate the difference between the two numbers.

This can be done by subtracting the smaller number from the larger one.

the smaller number is 98, so to subtract it from 465, you calculate it's three-digit complement, which is 901. Then, you add that complement to the original number. 465 + 901 = 1366. Then you can remove the first digit of that result, and add it to the last one, so 366 + 1 = 367. Now, in the original calculation, the larger number was being subtracted from the smaller one. This means that the result will be a negative, so you negate your current number, giving you -367.
