Learning Objective

4Nc8: Add and subtract near multiples of 10 or 100 to or from three-digit numbers

Strategy: Adjust and Compensate

To add 99, add 100 then subtract 1:

367 + 99 = 367 + 100 - 1 = 467 - 1 = 466

To subtract 198, subtract 200 then add 2:

543 - 198 = 543 - 200 + 2 = 343 + 2 = 345

More Examples

278 + 49 = 278 + 50 - 1 = 328 - 1 = 327

652 - 97 = 652 - 100 + 3 = 552 + 3 = 555
