Subtracting Money Worksheets - Free Printable

Problem Description:

The task involves solving subtraction problems involving money, specifically focusing on "Subtraction: Money Across Zero." This means that some of the subtractions will require borrowing across zero (e.g., subtracting a larger digit from a smaller digit in a column where the next column is zero).

Solution Approach:

1. Understand the Format: Each problem involves subtracting two monetary values.
2. Perform Subtraction: Subtract the smaller amount from the larger amount, ensuring proper alignment of decimal points.
3. Handle Borrowing: If necessary, borrow from the next higher place value, especially when dealing with zeros.

Step-by-Step Solutions:

#### Problem a:
$$
\$ 4.00 - \$ 3.79
$$
- Align the numbers by the decimal point:
$$
\begin{array}{r}
4.00 \\
- 3.79 \\
\hline
\end{array}
$$
- Subtract starting from the rightmost digit:
- Hundredths place: \(0 - 9\). Borrow 1 from the tenths place (which becomes 9 after borrowing), so \(10 - 9 = 1\).
- Tenths place: \(9 - 7 = 2\).
- Dollars place: \(3 - 3 = 0\).
- Result:
$$
\boxed{0.21}
$$

#### Problem b:
$$
\$ 6.00 - \$ 2.16
$$
- Align the numbers by the decimal point:
$$
\begin{array}{r}
6.00 \\
- 2.16 \\
\hline
\end{array}
$$
- Subtract starting from the rightmost digit:
- Hundredths place: \(0 - 6\). Borrow 1 from the tenths place (which becomes 9 after borrowing), so \(10 - 6 = 4\).
- Tenths place: \(9 - 1 = 8\).
- Dollars place: \(5 - 2 = 3\).
- Result:
$$
\boxed{3.84}
$$

#### Problem c:
$$
\$ 7.00 - \$ 1.73
$$
- Align the numbers by the decimal point:
$$
\begin{array}{r}
7.00 \\
- 1.73 \\
\hline
\end{array}
$$
- Subtract starting from the rightmost digit:
- Hundredths place: \(0 - 3\). Borrow 1 from the tenths place (which becomes 9 after borrowing), so \(10 - 3 = 7\).

- Dollars place: \(6 - 1 = 5\).
- Result:
$$
\boxed{5.27}
$$

#### Problem d:
