Answer:

S = 1.144

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that when we add or subtract two or more numbers then the final result must have same number of precision as that of numbers given in the problem

here we have

S = 3.15 - 2.006

so we have to give our result with 3 digits after decimal

so we will have


S = 1.144

since it must have more precise digits so correct answer after subtraction must be

S = 1.144
