    - - 20.9 is roughly 30.

    - - 2.9 is roughly 3.

    - - If Sue started with 30 and subtracted 3 from it, she would have 27.

    - - 1.8 is nowhere near 27. It's not a reasonable answer.

    (Actually, 20.9 - 2.9 = 18. So you can see where maybe she got her

    digits from, but she made some kind of bad mistake in handling them.)
