To subtract decimals, line up the decimal points so that place-value positions correspond.
$ 76.25
Before we find the exact difference, we can make an estimate by rounding the given numbers. We will round $ 25.75 to $ 26 because it is the closest whole number.
$ 102-$ 26=$ 76
Now we subtract the decimals just as we would with whole numbers and place the decimal point in the answer.
Our answer $ 76.25 is really close to our estimation!
