Problem: Solve the column subtraction problems involving decimals.



#### Solution:

We will solve each subtraction problem step by step. Here are the calculations:

---

Problem 1:


$$
82.27 - 29.55
$$
- Align the decimal points:
$$
\begin{array}{r}
82.27 \\
- 29.55 \\
\hline
\end{array}
$$
- Subtract digit by digit from right to left:
- \(7 - 5 = 2\)
- \(2 - 5\) (borrow 1 from the next column): \(12 - 5 = 7\)
- \(2 - 9\) (borrow 1 from the next column): \(12 - 9 = 3\)
- \(7 - 2 = 5\)

$$
\boxed{52.72}
$$

---

Problem 2:


$$
90.45 - 32.19
$$
- Align the decimal points:
$$
\begin{array}{r}
90.45 \\

\hline
\end{array}
$$
- Subtract digit by digit from right to left:
- \(5 - 9\) (borrow 1 from the next column): \(15 - 9 = 6\)
- \(4 - 1 = 3\)
- \(0 - 2\) (borrow 1 from the next column): \(10 - 2 = 8\)
