Missing same value is 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of multiplying big decimal numbers we put short cut by making 0.98 as a difference of near integer and one decimal.

i. e 0.98 = 1-0.02

Since 0.02 is the same for other also other term

0.73 = 0.75-0.02

Now product can be done very easily.

Steps are shown below:

0.98x0.73

= (1-0.02) (0.75-0.02)

= 0.75 - 0.02 (1+0.75) + 0.0004

= 0.7504 - (0.035)

= 0.7154

=0.44
