Starting with the ones column, we need to subtract 7 from 10, which gives us 3. We then borrow a ten from the tens column and subtract 1 from 4. This gives us 3 in the tens column. We then subtract 2 from 3 in the tens column, which gives us 1. Finally, we subtract 4 from 4 in the hundreds column, giving us 0. Therefore, the answer is 13.6.
