Question

subtract.
46.92 - 4.37

Explanation:

Step1: Align decimal points

Write the numbers vertically with decimal points aligned:

$$\begin{align*} &46.92\\ -&\ \ 4.37\\ \hline \end{align*}$$

Step2: Subtract from right to left

Start from the hundredths place: \(2 - 7\) is not possible, so borrow 1 from the tenths place. The 9 in the tenths place becomes 8, and the 2 in the hundredths place becomes 12. Then \(12 - 7 = 5\).
In the tenths place: \(8 - 3 = 5\).
In the ones place: \(6 - 4 = 2\).
The tens place remains 4.
So the subtraction is:

$$\begin{align*} &46.92\\ -&\ \ 4.37\\ \hline &42.55\\ \end{align*}$$

Answer:

\(42.55\)
