Subtraction of Money Word Problems
Consider some of the word problems on the subtraction of money.
Example 1:
Subtract Rs. 58.05 from Rs 175.75
Solution:
Method 1 (with conversion into paise):
Rs. 175.75 = 175.75×100 = 17575paise
Rs. 58.05 = 58.05×100 = 5805 paise
17 5 7 5 Paise
– 5 8 0 5 Paise
11 7 7 0 Paise
Therefore, difference of Rs. 58.05 from Rs. 175.75 = 12770 Paise = Rs. 117.70.
Method 2(without conversion into paisa)
(i)Rs. and Paise are arranged in columns with decimal points between them.
(ii) Smaller amount is placed under the larger amount.
(iii) Subtraction is made as ordinary subtraction.
Rs p
1 7 5 . 7 5
– 5 8 . 0 5
1 1 7 . 7 0
75 paise – 05 paise = 70 paise
Rs. 175 – Rs. 58 = Rs. 117
Therefore, the difference of Rs. 175.75 – Rs. 58.05 = Rs. 117.70
Example 2:
Ravi has Rs 500 with him. He spent Rs 39 in purchasing a water bottle. How much money is left with him? Solution:
The total amount of money Ron had =Rs500
Amount of money he spent =Rs39
Money left with Ravi is
Rs 5 0 0.0 0
Rs -3 9.0 0
Rs 4 61.0 0
Therefore, the amount of money left with Ravi=461.00
Example 3:
The price of a school bag is Rs 450.95 but Supriya has only Rs 410.25. How much more money does she require to buy the bag?
Solution:
The price of a school bag=450.95
Supriya has money=410.25
The money required to buy the bag is

4 5 0 . 9 5
-4 1 0 . 2 5
0 4 0 . 7 0
Hence, the money required to buy the bag is 40.70
Example 4:

Rs P
1
2 0 0 . 7 5
+ 3 5 . 5 0
2 3 6 . 2 5
The cost of toy and the book =236.25
The shopkeeper will return money to rajesh=500.00-236.25
Rs P
