Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’ll line up the decimal points and add or subtract carefully.

---

1) 4.32 + 12.16

Line them up:

```
4.32
+12.16
------
16.48
```

Answer: 16.48

---

2) 12.16 - 3.14

```
12.16
- 3.14
------
9.02
```

Answer: 9.02

3) 46.30 - 03.67

Note: “03.67” is just 3.67

```
46.30
- 3.67
------
42.63
```

(We borrow: 30 - 67 → can’t do, so borrow from 6 → becomes 5, and 30 becomes 130? Wait — let’s do it properly.)

Actually:

Start from right:

0 - 7 → can’t do → borrow from 3 (tenths place). But 3 is in tenths, so we go to units.

Better way:

46.30
- 3.67
= ?

Think of it as:

46.30
- 3.67
———
Start from hundredths: 0 - 7 → borrow → 10 - 7 = 3, but now tenths digit was 3, becomes 2.

Tenths: 2 - 6 → can’t → borrow from units (6 becomes 5), tenths become 12 → 12 - 6 = 6

Units: 5 - 3 = 2

Tens: 4 - 0 = 4

Wait — that gives 42.63? Let me check with calculator logic:

46.30 - 3.67 = 42.63

Yes.

Answer: 42.63

---

4) 2.1 + 21.83

Write 2.1 as 2.10

```
2.10
+21.83
------
23.93
```

Answer: 23.93

---

5) 1.89 + 5.91

```
1.89
+5.91
------
7.80 → which is 7.8
```

But usually we write 7.80 as 7.8 unless specified.

But since inputs have two decimals, keep two: 7.80

Actually, 1.89 + 5.91:

9+1=10 → carry 1
8+9+1=18 → carry 1
1+5+1=7 → so 7.80

Answer: 7.80 (or 7.8 — both correct, but let’s keep two decimals for consistency)

---

6) 23.7 + 16.1

Write as 23.70 + 16.10? Or just:

23.7
+16.1
= 39.8

Because 7+1=8 tenths, 3+6=9 units, 2+1=3 tens → 39.8

Answer: 39.8

---

7) 15.47 + 12.26

```
15.47
+12.26
------
27.73
```

7+6=13 → write 3, carry 1
4+2+1=7
5+2=7
1+1=2 → 27.73

Answer: 27.73

---

8) 1.7 - 18.58

This will be negative because 1.7 < 18.58

So compute 18.58 - 1.7 = ?

18.58
- 1.70
= 16.88

So answer is -16.88

Answer: -16.88

---

9) 19.16 + 2.48

```
19.16
+ 2.48
------
21.64
```

6+8=14 → write 4, carry 1
1+4+1=6
9+2=11 → write 1, carry 1
1+0+1=2 → 21.64

Answer: 21.64

---

10) 8.8 - 8.8

Any number minus itself is zero.

Answer: 0.0 (or just 0 — but since decimals, maybe 0.0)

---

Now, compiling all answers:

Final Answer:
1) 16.48
2) 9.02
3) 42.63
4) 23.93
5) 7.80
6) 39.8
7) 27.73
8) -16.88
9) 21.64
10) 0.0
