Calculate the result of 41.9 minus 3.84.

• A. 38.06
• B. 28.06
• C. 38.00
• D. 28.00

Answer: (A)

To find the correct result of 41.9 minus 3.84, we start by aligning the numbers properly by their decimal points: ``` 41.90 - 3.84 ``` When performing the subtraction, we begin from the rightmost digit. 1. In the hundredths place, we have 0 minus 4; since 0 is less than 4, we cannot subtract directly. We need to borrow from the tenths place, turning 9 into 8 (making it 8.9) and adding 10 to the 0, making it 10. Now we can do 10 minus 4, which gives us 6. 2. Next, we subtract in the tenths place: 8 (after borrowing) minus 8 equals 0. 3. Lastly, we subtract in the units place: 41 minus 3 equals 38. Putting it all together, we have: ``` 41.90 - 3.84 -------- 38.06 ``` Thus, the result is 38.06, making that the correct answer.
