Answer 2

48.983.

Explanation:

(The parentheses are not balanced so I am assuming that there is a square parentheses at the end of the given expression).

Using order of operations (PEMDAS):

20.003 + [(30.1 + 5.75) - 6.87] Work out the inner parentheses first:

= 20.003 + [35.85 - 6.87] Now the outer parentheses:

= 20.003 + 28.98

= 48.983.
