\newline

cents

=

Convert to cents: Convert dollars to cents to have a uniform unit for subtraction. $\newline$ $\$$ $7$ . $62$ is equivalent to $762$ cents because there are $100$ cents in a dollar. So, we multiply $7.62$ by $100$ to convert it to cents. $\newline$ Calculation: $7.62 \times 100 = 762$ cents
Subtract cents: Subtract $23$ cents from $762$ cents. $\newline$ Now we perform the subtraction: $762$ cents $-$ $23$ cents. $\newline$ Calculation: $762 - 23 = 739$ cents
Convert back to dollars: Convert the result back to dollars if necessary. $\newline$ Since the original amount was given in dollars, we convert the result back to dollars. There are $100$ cents in a dollar, so we divide by $100$ . $\newline$ Calculation: $739 \div 100 = \$(7.39)$
