To determine how much greater the difference of [tex]\(325.87 - 42.76\)[/tex] is compared to the sum of [tex]\(109.53 + 59.87\)[/tex], we can break the problem down into a series of steps:
### Step 1: Calculate the Difference
First, compute the difference of [tex]\(325.87\)[/tex] and [tex]\(42.76\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
325.87 - 42.76 = 283.11
\][/tex]
### Step 2: Calculate the Sum
Next, compute the sum of [tex]\(109.53\)[/tex] and [tex]\(59.87\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
109.53 + 59.87 = 169.40
\][/tex]
### Step 3: Determine How Much Greater the Difference is than the Sum
Finally, find the difference between the result from Step 1 and the result from Step 2 to see how much greater the difference [tex]\(283.11\)[/tex] is compared to the sum [tex]\(169.40\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
283.11 - 169.40 = 113.71
\][/tex]
Thus, the difference of [tex]\(325.87 - 42.76\)[/tex] is approximately [tex]\(113.71\)[/tex] greater than the sum of [tex]\(109.53 + 59.87\)[/tex].
