Solution

(i) Given 36.85 and 59.41
Let the unknown number be x
x + 36.85 = 59.41
x = 59.41 – 36.85
x = 22.56
Hence 22.56 is to be added to 36.85 to get 59.4

(ii) Let the unknown number be x
Given that x is to be subtracted from 17.1 to get 2.051
17.1 – x = 2.051
17.1 – 2.051 = x
x = 17.1 – 2.051
x = 15.049
