Question: 1 / 400

What is the result when subtracting $8.00 from $14.50?

A. $7.50

B. $6.50

To find the result when subtracting $8.00 from $14.50, we perform the operation:

\[

14.50 - 8.00

\]

Align the numbers by their decimal points:

\[

\begin{array}{r}

14.50 \\

- \, 8.00 \\

\hline

\end{array}

\]

Starting from the rightmost column (the hundredths place), we have 0 - 0, which equals 0. In the tenths place, we have 5 - 0, which equals 5. In the units place, we subtract 8 from 14. Since 14 - 8 equals 6, we write down 6.

Putting all this together, we get:

\[

14.50 - 8.00 = 6.50

\]

Thus, the result is $6.50, confirming that this is the correct answer.
