Looking at the two numbers given, we see that the only difference is in the third character from the end. In the first number, it's an '9', and in the second number, it's a 'a'. Converting each of these characters to their ASCII values, we get 0x39 for '9' and 0x61 for 'a'. The difference between these two values is -22, so we subtract -22 from the given number (since we're going from the first number to the second number), giving us -114. Therefore, the answer is choice B.
