Question

solve.
95.3 - 49.89

Explanation:

Step1: Align decimal points

Write \( 95.3 \) as \( 95.30 \) to have the same number of decimal places as \( 49.89 \).

Step2: Subtract column by column

Start from the rightmost column (hundredths place): \( 0 - 9 \) is not possible, so borrow from the tenths place. The tenths place becomes \( 2 \), and the hundredths place becomes \( 10 \). \( 10 - 9 = 1 \).
Tenths place: \( 2 - 8 \) is not possible, so borrow from the ones place. The ones place becomes \( 4 \), and the tenths place becomes \( 12 \). \( 12 - 8 = 4 \).
Ones place: \( 4 - 9 \) is not possible, so borrow from the tens place. The tens place becomes \( 8 \), and the ones place becomes \( 14 \). \( 14 - 9 = 5 \).
Tens place: \( 8 - 4 = 4 \).
So, \( 95.30 - 49.89 = 45.41 \).

Answer:

\( 45.41 \)
