\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}\hline nd & Subtract and solve \\ \hline \( 88.81-74.4 \)\end{tabular}

To subtract \( 74.4 \) from \( 88.81 \), first align the numbers by their decimal points. It looks like this: \[ \begin{array}{r} 88.81 \\ - 74.40 \\ \hline \end{array} \] Now, starting from the rightmost column, subtract each digit: 1 - 0 = 1, 8 - 4 = 4, and 8 - 7 = 1. Lastly, bring down the 1 from the left, which gives us: \[ 88.81 - 74.40 = 14.41 \] So, the answer is \( 14.41 \). That wasn't so difficult, was it?
