Problem 1
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
So our answer is
.
Solution 3
We only care about the unit's digits.
Thus, ends in
,
ends in
,
ends in
,
ends in
, and
ends in
.
Solution 4
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
