SECTION III.

SUBTRACTION.

51. If Charles has 9 apples and should give 4 of them away, how many apples would he have left?

To find how many he would have left, we take 4, a part of 9, away, and, by counting or otherwise, find there are 5 left; thus we know that he would have 5 apples left.

52. The process of taking part of a number away to find how many are left is subtraction.

53. The number, part of which is to be taken away, is the minuend.

54. The part of the minuend to be taken away is the

subtrahend.

55. The part of the minuend left after a part has been taken away is the remainder.

Name the minuend in the example above; the subtrahend; the remainder.

56. The subtraction of numbers is indicated by the sign, which is read minus, or less.

=

Thus the expression 94 5 means 9 diminished by 4 equals 5, and is read "nine minus four equals five," or "nine less four equals five."
