Step-by-step explanation

1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values

Place value	hundreds	tens	ones

	1	0	0
-			4

2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method

Because the upper digit (0) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the number to the left (10) which becomes (09) and get (10).

Place value	hundreds	tens	ones
	0	9	10
	1	0	0
-			4

Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
10-4=6

Place value	hundreds	tens	ones
	0	9	10
	1	0	0
-			4
			6

Write 9 in the tens place.

Place value	hundreds	tens	ones
	0	9	10
	1	0	0
-			4
		9	6

Write 0 in the hundreds place.

Place value	hundreds	tens	ones
	0	9	10
	1	0	0
-			4
	0	9	6

The solution is: 96
