8.99-2.9x2.3+0.3^2

Answer 1

To calculate the expression \( 8.99 - 2.9 \times 2.3 + 0.3^2 \), we will follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. Calculate \( 2.9 \times 2.3 \): \[ 2.9 \times 2.3 = 6.67 \]

2. Calculate \( 0.3^2 \): \[ 0.3^2 = 0.09 \]

3. Now, substitute these values back into the expression: \[ 8.99 - 6.67 + 0.09 \]

4. Perform the subtraction and addition step: \[ 8.99 - 6.67 = 2.32 \] \[ 2.32 + 0.09 = 2.41 \]

So, the final result is: \[ \boxed{2.41} \]
