Problem 1
What is the ones digit of: ![\[222{,}222-22{,}222-2{,}222-222-22-2?\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/5/6/156c3662fe4c874a80e54887f76c302c13b9d14c.png)
Solution 1
We can rewrite the expression as ![\[222,222-(22,222+2,222+222+22+2).\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/7/4/d74bfc53ce46f0b91792bb0b074e29716ed43be7.png)
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 , 
after regrouping(10-2) 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):
![\[(12-2)-(2+2+2+2)=10-8=2\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/a/e/1ae83497079c7f1f607247a754db7a749c0380c3.png)
Thus, we get the answer
