Best to write this problem as shown below:

562.34
 -64.89
-----------     First, estimate the correct answer.  It would be 562-65 = 497.


Must borrow from the tenths column, because 9 is greater than 4.  We end up with 5 under the 4 and 9.  We must borrow again to obtain the next digit:

12-8=4, so the result is now .45

11-4=7, so the result is now 7.45

55-6=9, so the result is now 97.45.

Finally, 4-0=4, so the final result is 497.45.  Compare this to the estimate (497).

Here we've had to borrow 4 times.

Here is my work for [tex]562.34-64.89[/tex]: 
[tex]\mathtt{\text{ }562.34}\\ \mathtt{\underline{-64.89}}\\ \mathtt{\text{ }497.45}\\ \\ 4-9\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}14-9=\mathbf{5}\\ 3-8\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}2-8\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}12-8=\mathbf{4}\\ \stackrel{\text{decimal point}}{\downarrow}\\ 2-4\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}1-4\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}11-4=\mathbf{7}\\ 6-6\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}5-6\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}15-6=\mathbf{9}\\ 5\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}\mathbf{4}\\[/tex]

Hope that helps!
