Solution - Long subtraction
36.83
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 8 | 1 | . | 8 | 4 | |
| - | 4 | 5 | . | 0 | 1 |
| . |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the hundredths column from the top number:
4-1=3
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 8 | 1 | . | 8 | 4 | |
| - | 4 | 5 | . | 0 | 1 |
| . | 3 |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
8-0=8
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 8 | 1 | . | 8 | 4 | |
| - | 4 | 5 | . | 0 | 1 |
| . | 8 | 3 |
Because the upper digit (1) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (8) in the next number place which becomes (7) and get (11).
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 7 | 11 | ||||
| 8 | 1 | . | 8 | 4 | |
| - | 4 | 5 | . | 0 | 1 |
| . | 8 | 3 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
11-5=6
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 7 | 11 | ||||
| 8 | 1 | . | 8 | 4 | |
| - | 4 | 5 | . | 0 | 1 |
| 6 | . | 8 | 3 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
7-4=3
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 7 | 11 | ||||
| 8 | 1 | . | 8 | 4 | |
| - | 4 | 5 | . | 0 | 1 |
| 3 | 6 | . | 8 | 3 |
The solution is: 36.83
