    That's the correct answer. Why doesn't it make since? What probably throws you off when looking is that the "64" and "85" don't add up to get a "50." But, remember that you're subtracting a quarter of a whole, thus decreasing the ones place by 1 (since you have to borrow). If you'd like to edit your question to be more specific, I'd love to give you a more specific answer!

    that is the correct answer.

    i can't show you long subtraction in a post, but it involves borrowing.
