To solve the problem \(-99.85 - 16.98\), we can combine the two negative numbers:
\[
-99.85 - 16.98 = -99.85 + (-16.98) = - (99.85 + 16.98)
\]
Now, calculate \(99.85 + 16.98\):
\[
99.85 + 16.98 = 116.83
\]
Thus,
\[
-99.85 - 16.98 = -116.83
\]
The correct answer is:
C. \(-116.83\)
\[
-99.85 - 16.98 = -99.85 + (-16.98) = - (99.85 + 16.98)

Now, calculate \(99.85 + 16.98\):
\[
99.85 + 16.98 = 116.83
\]
Thus,
\[
-99.85 - 16.98 = -116.83
\]
The correct answer is:
