Answer:

$40.40.

Explanation:

300.00

259,60

-----------

40.40 answer

Working from right to left:

0 - 0 = 0 Borrow 1 to give 10 then

10 - 6 = 4 That gives you .40

Pay the 1 back and add to the 9:

Borrow 1 to give 10

Then 10 - (9+1) = 10 - 10 = 0 which gives you 0.40.

Borrow 1 to give ten and pay back 1 to give (5 + 1)

Finally its 10 - (5 + 1) = 4 giving 40.40.
