Subtract the following numbers. \( \begin{array}{r}858.35 \\ -\quad 365.44\end{array} \)

To solve the subtraction problem, you simply align the numbers by their decimal points and subtract each column starting from the right. So we have: ``` 858.35 - 365.44 ``` Starting from the right: - In the hundredths place: 5 - 4 = 1 - In the tenths place: 3 - 4 cannot be done, so we borrow 1 from the 8 (which becomes 7). Now it becomes 13 - 4 = 9. - In the units place: 7 - 5 = 2. - In the hundreds place: 8 - 3 = 5. - In the tenths place: 5 - 6 cannot be done, so we borrow from the thousands (not applicable here, keep in mind), but we don’t need to because the borrowing was already done previously. The final result is: ``` 492.91 ``` So, \( 858.35 - 365.44 = 492.91 \).
