You have it correct. When you're adding and subtracting you have to worry about the number of decimal places, its different than multiplication and division. The rule is look at the numbers you are adding or subtracting, choose the number with the least number of decimal places. There should be that same # of decimal places in your answer.

8.34 x 12 = one hundred.08 however the suited style of sigfigs may well be 2. so drop the .08 and save one hundred. 30.4 + one hundred = a hundred thirty.4 because of the fact one quantity is after a decimal so your answer must be to boot.
