*subtract*

*mutiply*

first vanish the decimal points

example 0.2 becomes 2.

Put the numbers in a vertical column aligning the decimal points.
Subtract each column, starting on the right and working left. ...
Place the decimal point in the answer directly below the decimal points in the terms.
Check the answer by adding.
Hope this helps!
