Question

$\begin{aligned} &27 \\ -& \\ &~~3 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}$

00:00 Solve

00:03 Each time calculate subtraction of 2 digits, and then substitute

00:06 Let's start by subtracting ones from ones

00:09 Substitute in ones place

00:12 Put 0 in the missing digits

00:15 Subtract tens from tens

00:18 And this is the solution to the question

To solve this problem, we'll perform vertical subtraction:

Step 1: Write down the numbers vertically with the larger number (the minuend) on top:

$\begin{aligned} &27 \\ -& \\ &~~3 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} &\\ \end{aligned}$

Step 2: Subtract the digits in the ones place: $7$ (from $27$ ) minus $3$ (from $3$ ) equals $4$ .
Step 3: Subtract the digits in the tens place: $2$ (from $27$ ) minus $0$ (no tens in $3$ ) equals $2$ .

Therefore, the difference is $24$ .

The solution to the problem is $24$ , which corresponds to choice 2.
