You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5 + 5 + \frac{25}{100}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 5 + 5 + \frac{25}{100} = \frac{41}{4} = 10.25 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{1}\), \(\frac{5}{1}\), and \(\frac{25}{100}\) is \(100\). \[ \begin{aligned} 5 + 5 + \frac{25}{100} &= \frac{5 \cdot 100}{1 \cdot 100} + \frac{5 \cdot 100}{1 \cdot 100} + \frac{25 \cdot 1}{100 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{500 + 500 + 25}{100} \\ &= \frac{1025}{100} \\&= \frac{41}{4} \end{aligned} \]
