Whenever you are comparing two number, first equalise the number of digits by adding 0 where ever required and then compare the terms from LEFT..
Say you are comparing 268.45 and 45.79
So make it 268.45 and 045.79.......start comparison from left 2 is greater than 0, so 268.45 is bigger.
Back to the question..
76.088 and 76.10.....76.088 and 76.100
Same number of digits.. start from left..
7 and 7
6 and 6
0 and 1....so 76.10 is bigger
B
