To subtract 24.1 from 44.5, we can stack the numbers vertically and subtract each digit one at a time, regrouping if necessary. Starting from the right, we subtract 1 from 5 which gives 4, then we subtract 4 from 4 which gives 0, then we subtract 2 from 4 which gives 2, and finally we subtract 24 from 44 which gives 20. Therefore, the answer is 20.4, which corresponds to choice C.
