Grade 4 test questions: Subtracting money amounts

• Decimal Point Alignment: Always align the decimal points when subtracting money amounts. This ensures you're subtracting cents from cents and dollars from dollars.
💱
• Borrowing: Just like with regular subtraction, you may need to borrow from the next higher place value if the digit you're subtracting is larger than the digit you're subtracting from.
💲
• Units: Remember to include the dollar sign ($) in your final answer.
➕
• Addition Check: Check your answer by adding the difference to the amount you subtracted. The sum should equal the original amount.
