Let x = 4 . 8 6 . . . ( 1 ) .
Multiplying by 1 0 0 .
⇒ 1 0 0 x = 4 8 6 . 8 6 . . . ( 2 )
Subtracting ( 1 ) from ( 2 ) .
⇒ 9 9 x = 4 8 2
⇒ x = 9 9 4 8 2
And y = 3 . 9 5 . . . ( 3 ) .
Multiplying by 1 0 0 .
⇒ 1 0 0 y = 3 9 5 . 9 5 . . . ( 4 )
Subtracting ( 3 ) from ( 4 ) .
⇒ 9 9 y = 3 9 2
⇒ y = 9 9 3 9 2 .
∴ x − y = 9 9 4 8 2 − 9 9 3 9 2 = 9 9 9 0 = 0 . 9 0
