You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(7.50 + 25\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 7.50 + 25 = \frac{65}{2} = 32.5 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{7}{1}\), \(\frac{5}{10}\), and \(\frac{25}{1}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 7.50 + 25 &= \frac{7 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{5 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} + \frac{25 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} \\ &= \frac{70 + 5 + 250}{10} \\ &= \frac{325}{10} \\&= \frac{65}{2} \end{aligned} \]
