Jenny it is just like the one you pm'ed me about.

Add trailing zeroes to get the numbers aligned. 34.2 = 34.20

\(\displaystyle \ \ \ \ 34.20\)
\(\displaystyle - \ 17.98\)
\(\displaystyle = 16.22\)

Now check

\(\displaystyle \ \ \ \ 16.22\)
\(\displaystyle + \ 17.98\)
\(\displaystyle = 34.20\)

Learn to check your own work. It will save your bacon on tests, give you confidence that YOU know what you are doing, and let you know when you have made an error somewhere.
