Without context, it is difficult to say.
I guess you are referring to number bases greater than 10 where letters are used to represent digits above 9; the first digit would be A, the second B and so on. In these cases the letter A is being used to represent 10 times the column value where it is. For example in hexadecimal, the A in 0x6A3 represents 10 x 16 = 160 in decimal (since it is in the sixteens column of the number).

Does a decimal have a opposite?
No. A decimal is a way of representing a quantity so that the place value of each digit is ten times the place value of the number to its right. So the opposite would be to find a way not to represent a number?! What is the point of that?
What are 2 decimals that are equivalent to a given decimal 5.300?
Two decimals that are equivalent to 5.300 are 5.3 and 5.30. In decimal notation, trailing zeros after the decimal point do not change the value of the number. Therefore, both 5.3 and 5.30 represent the same value as 5.300.
What is a letter used to represent a numeric value in an expression or an equation?

Is 78.5 greater than 78.50?
Yes, 78.5 is greater than 78.50. When comparing two numbers, the decimal point and any additional zeros after the last significant digit do not affect the value of the number. In this case, 78.5 has one decimal place and 78.50 has two decimal places, but they represent the same value of 78.5.
