$5.03 – $3.30 = $1.73
To find the exact difference between $5.03 and $3.30, you subtract $3.30 from $5.03.
$5.03 - $3.30 = $1.73
So, the exact difference is $1.73.
To find the exact difference between $5.03 and $3.30, you need to subtract $3.30 from $5.03.
First, subtract the cents portion: $0.03 - $0.30 = -$0.27.
Since we borrowed $1 from the dollar portion to make the cents portion positive, we need to subtract it from the dollar portion: $5 - $1 = $4.
Therefore, the exact difference between $5.03 and $3.30 is $4 - $0.27 = $3.73.
The correct answer is option $1.73.
