Solution - Long subtraction
55
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 2 | 2 | |
| - | 6 | 7 | |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (2) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (2) in the next number place which becomes (1) and get (12).
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 12 | ||
| 1 | 2 | 2 | |
| - | 6 | 7 | |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
12-7=5
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 12 | ||
| 1 | 2 | 2 | |
| - | 6 | 7 | |
| 5 |
Because the upper digit (1) in the tens column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (1) in the next number place which becomes (0) and get (11).
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 11 | ||
| 1 | 12 | ||
| 1 | 2 | 2 | |
| - | 6 | 7 | |
| 5 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
11-6=5
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 11 | ||
| 1 | 12 | ||
| 1 | 2 | 2 | |
| - | 6 | 7 | |
| 5 | 5 |
Write 0 in the hundreds place.
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 11 | ||
| 1 | 12 | ||
| 1 | 2 | 2 | |
| - | 6 | 7 | |
| 0 | 5 | 5 |
The solution is: 55
