We will discuss here how to solve the word problems on subtraction of decimal fractions.

We know to subtract one decimal number from the other decimal number:

1. Find the difference of 16.7 from 25.2.

2. Jenny purchased vegetables for $ 29.75. She paid $ 100 more note. How much money did she get back?

Jenny paid                           = $ 100

Jenny purchased vegetables for $ 29.75

Jenny got back          =             100.00

                                            -  29.75

                                           $  70.25



3. What should be added to 85.264 to get 164.253?

To get the number, subtract 85.264 from 164.253

Therefore, 78.989 is to be added to 85.264 to get 164.253.

 

4. A container holds 60.25 liter of water, if 39.7 liters of water I used up then how much water is left is left in the container?

Quantity of water in the container           =             60.25 l

Quantity of water used up                      =        -   39.70 l

Quantity of water left                            =             20.55 l

Therefore, the water left in the container is 20.55 litre.
