The minuend is the number from which you are subtracting.
The subtrahend is the number that you are subtracting.
minuend - subtrahend = remainder
You are told that the remainder is 275.
And that the minuend is 3 times as great (3 x 275) = 825
So your equation is:
825 - s = 275
You can easily solve for s and get:
s = 550

c - b = a
Minuend = c
subtrahend = b
Difference or Remainder = a
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
if your are subtracting 1000 minus 700 the difference or remainder is 300
1000- 700 = 300
1000 = Minuend
700 = Subtrahend
300 = diffeence or remainder
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
the remainder is 3 times as great
275 x 3 = 825
the Minuend is 1100
The subtrahend is 825
The difference is 275
1100 - 825 = 275
