OPERATION. $26, 37 $21, 87 Hence, for subtraction of Federal Money, we have the allowing RULE. $ 50. Place the lesser number under the greater so that the commas, or separating points, shall fall directly under each other; then subtract as in simple numbers, and place the separating point in the remainder directly under those above. Q. How do you set down the numbers for subtraction? How do you subtract them? How do you place the separating point in the remainder? 6. What is the difference between $6 and 1 mill?
