Question

name
8 $6.05

• 1.26

Explanation:

Step1: Align decimal points

$$\begin{align*} &\phantom{-}6.05\\ &-1.26\\ \hline \end{align*}$$

Step2: Subtract from rightmost digit

Borrow 1 from the tenths place (which becomes -1, so borrow 1 from the ones place: 6 becomes 5, tenths place becomes 10, then borrow 1 to hundredths place: tenths place becomes 9, hundredths place becomes 15. $15 - 6 = 9$)

Step3: Subtract tenths place

$9 - 2 = 7$

Step4: Subtract ones place

$5 - 1 = 4$

$$\begin{align*} &\phantom{-}6.05\\ &-1.26\\ \hline &\phantom{-}4.79\\ \end{align*}$$

Answer:

$\$4.79$
