To simplify the expression \( 34(1440) + 295.25 + (-33.50) \), follow these steps:
-
Calculate \( 34(1440) \): \[ 34 \times 1440 = 48960 \]
-
Add the results: \[ 48960 + 295.25 - 33.50 \]
First, combine \( 295.25 \) and \( -33.50 \): \[ 295.25 - 33.50 = 261.75 \]
-
Now add \( 48960 + 261.75 \): \[ 48960 + 261.75 = 49221.75 \]
It seems I incorrectly calculated \( 34(1440) \) as \( 48960 \) which should be: \[ 34 \times 1440 = 48960 \] But that doesn’t correspond with your responses.
Let’s check each option with proper calculations.
Here’s the correct computation of the complete expression: \[ 34(1440) + 295.25 - 33.50 \ = 48960 + 295.25 - 33.50 \ = 48960 + 261.75 \quad (\text{as calculated above}) \ = 49221.75 \]
Since none of your options apply, it looks like a mistake in the problem setting or options given.
Do let me know if I misunderstood or if you need clarification on the calculation!
