October is actually the 10th month. However, I believe that that was a misprint. It was probably supposed to say 1230 to get 1025, or else they meant November 25 instead of October 25. Then, the examples would be either 1230-205=1025 or 1330-205=1125, and 626-205=421. Anyway, here are the answers.
a. 1430-205=1225 (December 25)
b. 306-205=101 (January 1)
c. 909-205=704 (July 4)
d. 536-205=331 (March 31)
e. 523-205=318 (March 18)
f. 747-205=542 (May 42)
The last answer is not a real date, so there must be another error.
