32B2 - 45F = 309D

To convert 309D to decimal, we multiply each digit by the corresponding power of 16 and add them up.

$$ 3\cdot16^3 + 0\cdot16^2 + 9\cdot16^1 + 13\cdot16^0$$

$$=  3\cdot4096 + 0\cdot256 + 9\cdot16 + 13\cdot1 $$

$$= 12304 + 144 + 13$$

$$= 12461$$

Therefore, 32B2 - 45F = 309D = -18AD in hexadecimal.
