Answer:

0.95

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract the given from the given total

15.70 - 14.75 = 0.95

This was done because we are looking for the amount that is added to equal a total. To find that, we subtract because the opposite of addition is subtraction. To find the number needed to be added, we must do the opposite of what is being done. To confirm the answer was indeed correct;

Step 1: Add the given amount to the result found

14.75 + 0.95 = 15.7

It ends up the same. (Note: Zero is not a number so if there is a zero behind a decimal, it will be considered as nothing is there.) If we add a zero behind it, it will be exact.

Therefore, the answer equals 0.95
