Solution - Long subtraction
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 1 | 3 | 3 | . | 3 | 3 | |
| - | 7 | 0 | . | 7 | 6 | |
| . |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (3) in the hundredths column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (3) in the next number place which becomes (2) and get (13).
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 2 | 13 | |||||
| 1 | 3 | 3 | . | 3 | 3 | |
| - | 7 | 0 | . | 7 | 6 | |
| . |
Subtract the numbers in the hundredths column from the top number:
13-6=7

Because the upper digit (2) in the tenths column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (3) in the next number place which becomes (2) and get (12).

Because the upper digit (3) in the tens column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (1) in the next number place which becomes (0) and get (13).

Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
13-7=6

| 6 | 2 | . | 5 | 7 |
Write 0 in the hundreds place.
