Question

a) 1
b) 2
c) 5

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take an example to prove that, when 100 is subtracted from a three digit number, the hundreds place will be decreased by 1.

let us take the three digit number, 300.

when 100 is subtracted from 300

300 - 100 = 200

the hundreds place of 300 is 3, and upon subtracting with 100, 3 decreased by 1 and becomes 2.
