🔍 Explanation:
When subtracting decimals:
- Align the decimal points.
- Subtract as if they were whole numbers.
- Place the decimal point in the answer directly below the others.
If needed, you can add zeros to make both numbers have the same number of decimal places (e.g., 6.82 = 6.820), but it’s not necessary here since all are already to two decimal places.
