Question

subtract: 167.12 − 47.32
120.2
119.4
119.8
120.8

Explanation:

Step1: Align decimal points

Write the numbers vertically:

$$\begin{align*} 167.12\\ - \ 47.32\\ \hline \end{align*}$$

Step2: Subtract the hundredths place

$2 - 2 = 0$ (hundredths place)

Step3: Subtract the tenths place

$1 - 3$ is not possible, so borrow 1 from the ones place (7 becomes 6, and 1 becomes 11). Then $11 - 3 = 8$ (tenths place)

Step4: Subtract the ones place

$6 - 7$ is not possible, so borrow 1 from the tens place (6 becomes 5, and 6 becomes 16). Then $16 - 7 = 9$ (ones place)

Step5: Subtract the tens place

$5 - 4 = 1$ (tens place)

Step6: Subtract the hundreds place

$1 - 0 = 1$ (hundreds place)
So the result is $119.8$

Answer:

119.8
