Subtracting Tens: Learn
Subtracting tens such as (80 - 20 = 60) is like subtracting quantities of items. In this case 2 tens are subtracted from 8 tens to leave 6 tens. This is similar to 2 oranges being subtracted from 8 oranges to leave 6 oranges.
How to subtract two-digit numbers (for example 80 - 20).
