Word problems to simplify decimals involving addition and subtraction decimals:
2. What must be added to 19.63 to obtain 57.87?
Solution:
Let x be added to 19.63 to obtain 57.87
i.e. 19.63 + x = 57.87
⇒ 19.63 + x - 19.63 = 57.87 - 19.63 (subtract from both sides)
⇒ x = 38.24
Therefore, 38.24 must be added to 19.63 to obtain 57.87.
3. What must be subtracted from 381.6 to obtain 28.88?
Solution:
Let x be subtracted from 381.6 to obtain 28.88
i.e., 381.6 - x = 28.88
⇒ x = 381.6 - 28.88
⇒ x = 352.72
Therefore, 352.72 must be subtracted from 381.60 to obtain 28.88.
