Placard outside a shop in Bordeaux advertising subtraction from price second perfume purchased is an operation that represents removing objects collection The result called difference signified sign For example adjacent picture there are apples meaning with taken away resulting total Therefore While primarily associated natural numbers can also represent or decreasing physical abstract quantities
