Example Question #1 : Subtracting Multi Digit Decimals

Find the difference.

7.26-5.83=

Possible Answers:

2.43

1.48

1.33

1.53

1.43

Correct answer:

1.43

Explanation:

Finding a difference means to subtract.

In the hundredths column, we can easily subtract 6-3=3 .

In the tenths column we must borrow from the 7 (making it 6) and also making the 2 a 12. Now we can subtract 12-8=4 .

Finally in the ones column we can subtract 6-5=1 .

Thus the final answer is 1.43.

Possible Answers:

1.89

2.10

1.91

Correct answer:

1.91

Explanation:

Example Question #6 : Subtracting Multi Digit Decimals

Menu 1

The above is a menu at the concession stand at a drive-in movie. The stand also offers a special "Meal Deal": a hamburger or a hot dog, a medium order of fries, and a medium soda for $\$ 8$ .

Randy orders two Meal Deals - a hamburger Meal Deal for himself and a hot dog Meal Deal for his friend Denise. How much more would he have paid for the items separately?

(Ignore tax)

Possible Answers:

$\$1.74$

$\$2.74$

$\$3.24$

$\$2.24$

Correct answer:

$\$2.24$

Explanation:

The two Meal Deals cost $\$ 8 \times 2 = \$16$ .

Purchased separately, the hamburger would have cost $4.89; the hot dog, $4.39; each of the two medium orders of fries, $2.79; and each of the two medium sodas, $1.69. The total price of the items, purchased separately, would have been

$\$4.89$

4.39

2.79

1.69

$\underline{1.69}$

$\$18.24$

The difference between this and the $16 paid for the food is

$\$18.24 - \$16 .00 = \$2.24$
