Answer:

65 See below

Explanation:

when doing mental math you need to break it apart to more manageable chunks.

I would think of this as 70 and 11 - 6 = 75 then subtract 10 = 65

Answer:

we have

(81-16)

One way to use mental math is to add 4 to both 81 and 16

so

81+4=85\\ 16+4=20\\ 85-20=65

therefore

81-16=65

the answer is

65
