65.38
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 9 | 7 | . | 6 | 8 | |

| . |
Put zeros in the blank number places:
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 9 | 7 | . | 6 | 8 | |
| - | 3 | 2 | . | 3 | 0 |
| . |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the hundredths column from the top number:
8-0=8
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 9 | 7 | . | 6 | 8 | |
| - | 3 | 2 | . | 3 | 0 |
| . | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
6-3=3
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 9 | 7 | . | 6 | 8 | |
| - | 3 | 2 | . | 3 | 0 |
| . | 3 | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
7-2=5
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 9 | 7 | . | 6 | 8 | |
| - | 3 | 2 | . | 3 | 0 |
| 5 | . | 3 | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
9-3=6
| Place value | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 9 | 7 | . | 6 | 8 | |
| - | 3 | 2 | . | 3 | 0 |
| 6 | 5 | . | 3 | 8 |
The solution is: 65.38
