11.7
Explanation:
Using PEDMAS to simplify order of operations.
first is Parenthesis , hence (4.9 - 2,25 ) = 2.65
There are no exponents nor multiplication / division
addition and subtraction have equal precedence
hence 12.95 - 2.65 + 1.4 may be done in the order they are in.
thus 12.95 - 2.65 + 1.4 = 11.7
