Question 9:
What are the values of A and B?
- \(A = 4, B = 7\)
- \(A = 3, B = 8\)
- \(A = 4, B = 8\)
- \(A = 3, B = 7\)
Solution:
Starting from the ones, we add 9 and 8 to get 17.
\(\begin{align} A &= 8 - 4 - 1\\[2ex] &= 3\\[4ex] B &= 4 + 3 + 1\\[2ex] &= 8 \end{align}\)
Answer:
(2) \(A = 3, B = 8\)
3. More Than/Less Than (Direct)
In more than/less than (Direct) questions, we do addition when we see the term more than and we do subtraction when we see the term less than.

4. More Than / Less Than (Indirect)
In more than/less than (Indirect), we do subtraction when we see the term more than. However, we have to read the question carefully when we see the term less than.
It can be addition or subtraction, depending on how the question is phrased.
Question 1:
__________ more than 2000 is 6500.
Solution:
Rewriting this as an equation:
\(2000 + \text{__________} = 6500 \)
\(6500 - 2000 = 4500\)
Answer:
4500
Question 2:
Do the following.
__________ more than 2999 is 3455.

Rewriting this as an equation:
\(2999 +\text{__________}= 3455\)
\(3455 - 2999 = 456\)
Answer:
456
Question 3:
Do the following.
__________ more than 6835 is 8835.
- 1000
- 2000
- 2600
- 15 670
Solution:
Rewriting this as an equation:
\(6835 + \text{__________} = 8835\)
\(8835 - 6835 = 2000\)
Answer:
(2) 2000
Question 4:
Do the following.
300 more than __________ is 5437.
- 5137
- 5237
- 5637
- 5737

\(5437 - 300 = 5137\)
Answer:
(1) 5137
Question 5:
Do the following:
153 less than __________ is 2846.

Answer:
2999
Question 6:
Do the following.
__________ less than 4657 is 4357.
Solution:
Rewriting this as an equation:
\(4657 - \text{__________} = 4357\)
\(4657 - 4357 = 300\)
Answer:
300
Question 7:
Do the following.
__________ less than 7100 is 7070.
- 30
- 130
- 1480
- 14 170

\(7100 - \text{__________} = 7070\)
\(7100 - 7070 = 30\)
Answer:
(1) 30
Question 8:
What is the missing number?
5440 is __________ tens more than 4840.
- 6
- 60
- 66
- 600
