Example Question #241 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Find the quotient and show a remainder if necessary. Remainders are expressed as 
In order to do this question, think about how many times 7 goes into 50. We should know 7 times itself is 49. Thus 7 goes into 50 at least 7 times with how many left over? 
Example Question #1 : Subtracting Multi Digit Decimals
Find the difference.
Finding a difference means to subtract.
In the hundredths column, we can easily subtract 
In the tenths column we must borrow from the 7 (making it 6) and also making the 2 a 12. Now we can subtract 
Finally in the ones column we can subtract 
Thus the final answer is 1.43.
Example Question #241 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
McKenzie is given 12 tickets to spend on prizes at the arcade. She decides to buy a teddy bear that costs 2 tickets, a piece of candy that costs 1 ticket, and a snow globe that costs 5 tickets. How many tickets does McKenzie have after buying the prizes?
McKenzie started with 12 tickets. The word "spent" in the problem means that we subtract the cost of the teddy bear, candy, and snow globe from McKenzie's original amount of tickets.

Example Question #244 : Numbers And Operations
At the circus, Christian reached in his pocket and realized he had 45 cents. He decided to buy an ice cream bar for 23 cents. How much money did he have left?
Because Christian is purchasing an ice cream cone, he is going to have less money than before, so this is a subtraction problem. If you start with 45 cents, that's 4 tens, and 5 ones. Taking away 23 cents means taking away 2 tens and 3 ones, so
so Christian has 
Example Question #242 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Jackson was at the bakery and decided to buy a muffin. He had 25 cents and the muffin cost 12 cents. Which number sentence matches the question and shows how much money Jackson had left?
Since Jackson is purchasing a muffin, he will have less money than when he started, which is a subtraction operation. Because he starts with 25 cents and the muffin costs 12 cents, the number sentence should begin
To solve the problem, 25 has 2 tens and 5 ones, and we need to take away 12, which has 1 ten and 2 ones.
Example Question #243 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Helen threw a javelin 
Subtract the distance of Winston's throw from the distance of Helen's throw to find how much further Helen threw her javelin.
Example Question #242 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Ronnie is making Valentine's Day cards for his 10 best friends. If he already made 2 cards yesterday in class, how many more cards does he need to make today?
Ronnie starts out needing to make 10 total cards. Since he already made 2 cards yesterday, we can subtract 2 from our original amount (10) to determine how many cards still need to be made.
