Answer 1

Let's simplify the expression step by step:

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

2. Now, add the results together with \( 295.25 \) and \( -33.50 \):
\[
1080 + 295.25 - 33.50
\]

3. First, add \( 1080 + 295.25 \):
\[
1080 + 295.25 = 1375.25
\]

4. Now subtract \( 33.50 \):
\[
1375.25 - 33.50 = 1341.75
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is **1341.75**.
