ANSWER

90,400.5

Step-by-step explanation

To add these factors, first, we have to solve the multiplications in the parenthesis,


(9\cdot10,000)+(2\cdot100)+(2\cdot100)+(5\cdot(1)/(10))=90,000+200+200+(5)/(10)

Note that the last term is a fraction, so first, we have to simplify it. Both numerator and denominator are divisible by 5, thus,


(5)/(10)=(1)/(2)

Add the whole numbers first,


90,000+200+200+(1)/(2)=90,400+(1)/(2)

Then we can either add the fraction so the answer is another fraction with a rather large numerator, or we can add the fraction as a decimal,


(1)/(2)=0.5

And the result is,


90,400+0.5=90,400.5

If we add the fraction and express the answer as an improper fraction we have,


90,400+(1)/(2)=(2\cdot90,400+1)/(2)=(180,800+1)/(2)=(180,801)/(2)

Or we can also write it as a mixed number,


90,400+(1)/(2)=90,400(1)/(2)
