72.3 - 39.1 = 4 tens - 7 ones - 2 tens is the correct order after rewriting.
Given the formula 72.3 + (-39.1)
removing the parentheses:
= 72.3 + (-39.1) (-39.1)
= 72.3 - 39.1
converting decimal numbers to place values
72.3 = 7tens plus 2units plus 3tenths
72.3 = 7(10) (10)
+2(1)+3(1/10)
72.3 =70+2+0.3
Similarly, 39.1
39.1 = 3tens plus 9units plus 1tenth
39.1 = 3(10)+9(1)+1(1/10)
39.1 =30+9+0.1
72.3 - 39.1 = 70+2+0.3 - (30+9+0.1)
72.3 - 39.1 = 70+2+0.3 - 30-9-0.1
72.3 - 39.1 = 70-30+2-9+0.3-0.1
72.3 - 39.1 = 40 - 7 +0.2
Hence after rewriting we get 72.3 - 39.1 = 4 tens - 7 ones - 2 tens
