Note the following rule:
Now let's rewrite the exercise as follows:
We should note that we are subtracting between two positive numbers, meaning we will obtain a positive result.
Therefore:
a is negative number.
b is negative number.
What is the sum of a+b?
The (+100) notation explicitly shows these are positive numbers. It's like saying 'positive 100 minus positive 1.01' to avoid any confusion about signs.
No! When subtracting two positive numbers, it's exactly the same as regular subtraction. The parentheses are just for clarity.
Write it as 100.00 - 1.01. Add zeros after 100 so both numbers have the same decimal places, then subtract column by column from right to left.
Remember: positive minus positive gives you a positive result when the first number is larger. Since 100 > 1.01, your answer will be positive.
Yes! Add your result to what you subtracted: . If you get the original number, you're correct!
