One thing that worked for me was to subtract the smaller from the bigger and then put a negative sign in front.

Just as in subtracting 23 from 17.

To calculate 17 - 23

calculate 23 - 17 = 6

and put a minus sign in front: -6.

Same process.

To subtract 0.03 from a whole number, you can write the whole number as a decimal by adding .00 to the end of it. For example, if the whole number is 1, you can write it as 1.00. Then, subtract 0.03 from this decimal number: 1.00 - 0.03 = 0.97. Therefore, the answer as a decimal fraction is 0.97.
