Problem Description:
The task involves solving a series of subtraction problems where decimals are subtracted from whole numbers. The goal is to find the difference for each problem.
Solution Approach:
1. Align the decimal points: When subtracting decimals, it's crucial to align the decimal points vertically. If necessary, add trailing zeros to make the numbers have the same number of decimal places.
2. Subtract as usual: Perform the subtraction as you would with whole numbers, borrowing if necessary.
3. Place the decimal point: Ensure the decimal point in the answer is directly below the decimal points in the numbers being subtracted.
