Considering the given statement 17.35 + 15.32 + 17.36 – 26.48 = 3 × ? Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below: Step-1: Parts of an equation enclosed in 'Brackets' must be solved first, and in the bracket, Step-2: Any mathematical 'Of' or 'Exponent' must be solved next, Step-3: Next, the parts of the equation that contain 'Division' and 'Multiplication' are calculated, Step-4: Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contain 'Addition' and 'Subtraction' should be calculated. Now, 17.35 + 15.32 + 17.36 – 26.48 = 3 × ? ⇒ 50.03 – 26.48 = 3 × ? ⇒ 23.55 = 3 × ? ⇒ 23.55/3 = ? ⇒ 7.85 = ? ∴ Required value = 7.85
