$$37.5 + 2 + 10 + 20 + 26 + 23 = \frac{237}{2} = 118.5$$

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of $\frac{37}{1}$, $\frac{5}{10}$, $\frac{2}{1}$, $\frac{10}{1}$, $\frac{20}{1}$, $\frac{26}{1}$, and $\frac{23}{1}$ is $10$. $$\begin{aligned} 37.5 + 2 + 10 + 20 + 26 + 23 &= \frac{37 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{5 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} + \frac{2 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{10 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{20 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{26 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{23 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} \\ &= \frac{370 + 5 + 20 + 100 + 200 + 260 + 230}{10} \\ &= \frac{1185}{10} \\&= \frac{237}{2} \end{aligned}$$
