You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(845.80 - 265\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 845.80 - 265 = \frac{2904}{5} = 580.8 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{845}{1}\), \(\frac{8}{10}\), and \(\frac{-265}{1}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 845.80 - 265 &= \frac{845 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{8 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} + \frac{-265 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} \\ &= \frac{8450 + 8 + -2650}{10} \\ &= \frac{5808}{10} \\&= \frac{2904}{5} \end{aligned} \]
