Question

Why can I not subtract this pls help

Answer 1

To subtract this number you should break it down first. Try subtracting $25.00 -12.75 and then take that answer and subtract it by $8.50. 

Answer 2

the answer would be 3.75 because you would subtract 12.75 from 25.00 which would be 12.25, then you would subtract 8.50 from 12.25 and you would get 3.75.

25.00 - 12.75 = 12.25
12.25 - 8.50 = 3.75
