I know this sounds stupid..but.... When I do this calculation on a calculator the answer comes up -$5.37. This can't be right as the last 2 have to still remain .63. Why does a calculator come up with this??? Answer has to be -$6.63..That is easily done in your head but calculator says different.

I know ya get the right answer by doing $10.00 - $4.63....But just seams like when ya subtract an even number it stays the same..I learned something I guess.

I mean the following to be humorous - You must be a whiz at balancing a checkbook. LOL. If you had $4.63 in your account and you float a check for $10.00, once it clears the bank, not including any penalties and over draft fees, the bank would love you if you insisted on paying $6.63 not the $5.37 that's due them.

Consider it as a number line problem. Remember them? OK... so we're starting at a point located to the right of zero (0) by 4.63 units, and we are going to move 10 units to the left (in a negative (-) direction). When we have moved just to the zero point, how many units have we moved?
Obviously, we have moved 4.63 units, out of the total of 10 units in the planned move. So how many units are left to move if we are to complete the whole movement? 10.00 - 4.63 = 5.37 units. With me so far?? OK -- so now we will move that distance, again to the left. Where do we now end up?
4.63 - 10.00 or 10.00 - 4.63. It doesn't matter how you re-arrange the numbers, the magnitude of the answer will always be the same. Only the sign changes.
i think the second f in your screen name is throwing your beain waves off!
i have done the same thing with words sometimes. i'm talking the simplest words.
the conversation in my head goes something like this. how do i spell the word jet? and i'll spell it, j-e-t. but then i'll think, wait a minute, that doesn't seem right. the next day i'll think, "what's wrong with me". LOL
