I know 96 goes I to 98 once, and then to subtract the 96 from the 98 portion of ththe problem, which gives you 2. When dropping the last 8 down, you re left with 28. I'm unsure of the next step though, as 96 obviously doesn't fit into 28, and there is also not another number to bring down so that it does fit. Help please!!

Yes, your logic is right. 96 goes into 28 zero times.

Look at it this way: 10×96+28=960+28=988.
