What is the complement of the base ten number 453?

A) 546, 1

B) 546, 0

C) 547, 1

D) 547, 0

Final answer:

The complement of the base ten number 453 is 546 with a borrow of 0.

Explanation:

In base ten, the complement of a number is what you would need to add to it to make the next multiple of ten. In the case of the number 453, the next multiple of 10 is 460. Subtracting 453 from 460 gives 7. Since there's no borrowing involved, the correct complement of the number 453 in base ten would be 546 with a borrow of 0. Therefore, option D) 547, 0 is incorrect, and so are A) 546, 1 and C) 547, 1. So the correct answer is B) 546, 0.
