Question

What should be subtracted from 55.55 to get 5.555? ​

Answer 1

`\mathrm{Let\ }x\mathrm{\ should\ be\ subtracted\ from\ 55.55\ to\ get\ 5.555}\\\mathrm{Then,}\\\mathrm{55.55-}x=5.555\\\mathrm{Adding\ }x\mathrm{\ on\ both\ sides,}\\\mathrm{or,\ }55.55-x+x=5.555+x\\\mathrm{or,\ }55.55=5.555+x\\\mathrm{Subtracting\ 5.555\ from\ both\ sides,}\\\mathrm{55.55-5.555}=x\\\therefore\ x=49.995`
