Subtraction after division with decimals Evaluate: 5005 − 5000 ÷ 10.00 (remember division before subtraction).

Introduction / Context: Many slip-ups occur when subtraction appears before a division term. This item checks that you execute the division first—even with a decimal divisor—before performing the subtraction.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Expression: 5005 − 5000 ÷ 10.00.
• Operator precedence: division before subtraction.
• 10.00 equals 10 exactly; the trailing zeros are cosmetic.

Concept / Approach: Compute 5000 ÷ 10.00 first to get an exact integer. Then subtract that result from 5005. Converting 10.00 to 10 makes no difference to the value.

Step-by-Step Solution:Compute division: 5000 ÷ 10.00 = 500.Subtract: 5005 − 500 = 4505.Therefore, the expression evaluates to 4505.

Verification / Alternative check: View as 5005 − (5000/10) = 5005 − 500 = 4505, which is unchanged by representing 10 as 10.00. The decimal formatting does not alter the arithmetic.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:50 confuses subtraction with division of the whole number; 5000 ignores the division completely; 0.5 arises from dividing 5 by 10 erroneously.

Common Pitfalls: Subtracting first (5005 − 5000) and then dividing; misreading 10.00 as 100; or believing decimal points change the numeric value of 10.

Final Answer: 4505
