What is the ones digit of
Solution 1
We can rewrite the expression as
We note that the units digit of the addition is because all the units digits of the five numbers are and , which has a units digit of .
Now, we have something with a units digit of subtracted from . The units digit of this expression is obviously , and we get as our answer.

Solution 2(Tedious)
Using the oniichan Thereom, we deduce that the answer is (B)
Solution 3
We only care about the unit's digits.
Thus, ends in , ends in , ends in , ends in , and ends in .

Solution 4
Let be equal to the expression at hand. We reduce each term modulo to find the units digit of each term in the expression, and thus the units digit of the entire thing:
-Benedict T (countmath1)
Solution 5
We just take the units digit of each and subtract, or you can do it this way by adding an extra ten to the first number (so we don't get a negative number): Thus, we get the answer
