Solve Decimal Subtraction: (+0.27) - (+1.12) Step-by-Step

Let's remember the rule:

$-(+x)=-x$

Now let's write the exercise in the appropriate form:

$0.27-1.12=$

Since we are subtracting a smaller number from a larger number, the result will be negative.

We'll use vertical subtraction and remember that the result is negative:

$1.12\\-0.27\\0.85$

The final result is:

$-0.85$
