What is 250 - 129?

To find the result of the subtraction 250 - 129, you perform the operation step by step. Start with the number 250 and subtract 129 from it.

When you do the calculation:

1. Subtract the tens from the tens: In this case, 250 has 2 in the hundreds and 5 in the tens, and 129 has 1 in the hundreds and 2 in the tens. Thus, starting from the tens, 50 - 20 equals 30.

2. Then subtract the units: 0 - 9 can't be done as 0 is less than 9, so you would need to borrow. The borrowing takes 1 away from the 5 in the tens (making it 4) and adds 10 to the units position. So now you have 10 - 9, which equals 1.

3. Finally, since borrowing took away from the tens, you perform the tens subtraction: 4 (originally 5, after borrowing) minus 2 (from the 129) equals 2.

4. Lastly, you still have a remaining hundred from 2 - 1 (the 1 in 129) which equals 1.
