67083.97 - 61179.17 = 5904.80, not 95.20.

As David Biddulph noted, Excel represents numbers in binary, and in binary
most terminating decimal fractions can only be approximated. As documented
in Help, the level of approximation may be accurate to no more than 15
decimal digits. If whatever calculation you actually performed still seems
wrong recognizing that you may not know what is in the 16th figure of your
input numbers, then post back with correct information.
