Line up the decimal points (point over point).If there are any blank values to the right of the decimal point, write `0`.Carry Overs `1` `1` `6` `.` `7` `5` `+` `3` `.` `3` `5` `1` `0` `.` `1` `0` Finally, proceed with subtracting the total cost from Kathy’s money. Line up the decimal points (point over point).If there are any blank values to the right of the decimal point, write `0`.`5` `0` `.` `0` `0` `-` `1` `0` `.` `1` `0` `.` `0` Since `0` is less than `1` we will use borrowing to subtract`0` (units digit) `=` borrow `1` from `5``0` (tenths digit) `=` borrow `1` from `10` (units digit)`9` `4` `10` `10` `5` `0` `.` `0` `0` `-` `1` `0` `.` `1` `0` `3` `9` `.` `9` `0` Therefore, Kathy will receive `$39.90` as change.`$39.90` -

Great Work!
Incorrect
First, list down the given values in the problem.Current reading: `24156.8 \text(km)`Distance traveled: `378.4 \text(km)`To find the new distance shown by the odometer, simply add the current reading and the distance traveled by the car.Proceed with adding the values. Line up the decimal points (point over point).If there are any blank values to the right of the decimal point, write `0`.Carry Overs `1` `1` `1` `+` `2` `4` `1` `5` `6` `.` `8` `+` `3` `7` `8` `.` `4` `2` `4` `5` `3` `5` `.` `2` Therefore, the new distance shown on the odometer is `24535.2 \text(km)``24535.2 \text(km)` -
