Jose’s explanation: I lined up the two decimals according to place value.

An’s explanation: I counted up from 15.75 to 176.3 to find the difference. I underlined each number I added on each line.
15.75 + 0.25 = 16
16 + 4 = 20
20 + 150 = 170
170 + 6 = 176
176 + 0.3 = 176.3
I rearranged the underlined numbers to make them easier to add: .
150 + 6 + 3 + 0.25 = 163.25
