1) 3.18 - 5.72 - 6.4 = ?
= 3.18 - 12.12 (adding 5.72 and 6.4)
= - 8.94
--------------
2) -8.9 + 7.36 - 14.2 = ?
= 7.36 - 23.1 (adding the negative terms)
= 15.74
3) What is 4.793 less than -6.82 ?
That makes no sense. Should it say "less", rather than "less than"?
---------------
4) -125.41 + 361.55 =?
Why don't you do that one.

So the answer is -11.613

4)

-125.41 + 361.55 = 236.14

So the answer is 236.14
