    Round 288 t0 300 and Round 506 to 500.

    506  - 288 = ?
If you have 50 tens, then borrowing one ten for the ones column (to give you 16 - 8) leaves you 49 tens remaining. Then you can subtract 8 from the 9 remaining in the tens column and the 2 from the 4 in the hundreds column.
Does that help you understand?
