SUBTRACTION of COMPOUND Subtraction of compound quantities teacheth to find the Write the quantities as directed in compound Addition, place the greater quantity uppermoft, and draw a line under them. Then, begin at the right hand, and fubtract each lower quantity from that which is above it, and write down each remainder in its proper place. But if the lower quantity be greater than the higher one, add as many to the higher quantity, as make one of the next greater, and then fubtract, taking care to carry one to the next lower quantity for the number fo borrowed. P R O O F.. The method of proof is the fame as in fubtraction of fimple quantities. £. S. d. £. S. d. 2187 187 (4) 7871 18 94 1214 17 11 1218 17 114 (5) Lent |
