Simplify the expression: 3/4 (1440) + 295.25 + (-33.50)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( \frac{3}{4} (1440) + 295.25 + (-33.50) \), we will follow these steps:

1. Calculate \( \frac{3}{4} (1440) \): \[ \frac{3}{4} \times 1440 = 3 \times 360 = 1080 \]

2. Now substitute back into the expression: \[ 1080 + 295.25 - 33.50 \]

3. Combine \( 295.25 - 33.50 \): \[ 295.25 - 33.50 = 261.75 \]

4. Now add \( 1080 + 261.75 \): \[ 1080 + 261.75 = 1341.75 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is \( \boxed{1341.75} \).
