($1.75+2 times $0.25+5 times $0.05) times 24

($1.75 + 2 × $0.25 × $0.05) × 24 = ?

We Will use PEMDAS to solve this equation.

P = Parentheses 
E = Exponent  
M = Multiplication
D = Division
A = Addition 
S = Subtraction 

(1.75 + 2 × 0.25 × 0.05) × 24 = 

2 × 0.25 × 0.05 = 0.025

= 24(0.025 + 1.75)

1.75 + 0.025 = 1.775

= 24 × 1.755 

24 × 1.755 = 42.6

= 42.6

So, ($1.75 + 2 × $0.25 × $0.05) × 24 = $42.6

Hope I helped:P
