| Level | P2 (intermediate) |
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 25 | 14 minus 9 is 5, and 7 minus 5 is 2, so the answer is 25. |
| 2 | 34 | 10 minus 6 is 4, and 6 minus 3 is 3, so the answer is 34. |
| 3 | 27 | 15 minus 8 is 7, and 8 minus 6 is 2, so the answer is 27. |
| 4 | 15 | 12 minus 7 is 5, and 5 minus 4 is 1, so the answer is 15. |
| 5 | 15 | 11 minus 6 is 5, and 3 minus 2 is 1, so the answer is 15. |
| 6 | 36 | The tens are 0 too, so borrow from the hundreds to make ten tens, then lend one to the ones. |
| 7 | 17 | 16 minus 9 is 7, and 4 minus 3 is 1, so the answer is 17. |
| 8 | $8 | First 80 minus 45 is 35, then 35 minus 27 is 8, so $8 is left. |
| 9 | 35 | 92 minus 38 is 54, then 54 minus 19 is 35. |
| 10 | The tens were not reduced after borrowing; the correct answer is 27 | 14 minus 7 is 7, and 7 becomes 6 after borrowing, so 6 minus 4 gives 2. |
