You're right, except for the sign.
-35/100
Your teacher may want you to simplify this fraction, also.
-3/10 - 5/100 = 35/100?

The fraction part is correct, but not the sign. The answer would have been correct if both signs on the left hand side were positive (plus).
When we add two negative numbers, the sum is negative.
For example, to calculate -3-5, we start from zero on the number line, move 3 units to the left (minus direction), and five more units to the left (again, minus direction) and we land on -8.
When adding/subtracting numbers with negative signs, try to visualize the numbers on the number line.

No its -35/100
so is it positive 7/20 simplified?
No. It's still negative: -7/20
-3/10= -30/100
(-30/100)-(5/100= (-35)/100
=(-5*7)/(5*20)= (-7)/20
(-30/100)-(5/100= (-35)/100
=(-5*7)/(5*20)= (-7)/20
