Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Given Values

We are given the subtraction problem: \[ \begin{array}{r} 41,18 \\ -26,069 \\ \hline 15,449 \end{array} \] From this, we identify:

  • Result: \( 15,449 \)
  • Subtracted number: \( 26,069 \)
Step 2: Calculate the Original Number

To find the original number that was subtracted from \( 41,18 \), we can use the equation: \[ \text{Original Number} = \text{Result} + \text{Subtracted Number} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Original Number} = 15,449 + 26,069 = 41,518 \]

Final Answer

The number that should be placed in the box to accurately represent the problem she solved is \\(\boxed{41518}\\).
