Explanation:

you know what 3/20 is in decimal form ?

it is literally dividing 3 by 20. and the result is 0.15.

you can get this skating by converting the fraction to n/100.

it means to multiply numerator and denominator by 5

3/20 × 5/5 = 15/100 = 0.15

so, the first number is actually

-1,098.15

now the difference is not so difficult anymore, right ?

-1,098.15 - -2,784.72 = -1,098.15 + 2,784.72 = 1,686.57
