Final answer:

The subtraction of 9.25 from 28.9 results in 19.65. This subtraction aligns the decimal points and subtracts each digit position accordingly, ending with the correct subtraction result.

We subtract 5 from 0 in the hundredths place by borrowing 10 hundredths from the tenths place, reducing it from 9 to 8 tenths, and then 2 from 8 in the tenths place:

28.90
- 9.25
________
19.65

So, 28.9 - 9.25 equals 19.65, which corresponds to option A. 19.65.
