The answer is 188.8, what do you get?

anonymous · Answer

in this case it's not that hard to do it from your head

$$80 * 2 = 8*2*10$$=160
$$80*0.3 = 8*10*\frac{ 3 }{ 10 }  = 8*3*\frac{ 10 }{ 10 } = 8*3$$=24
$$80*0.06=8*0.6=\frac{ 8*6 }{ 10 }=\frac{ 48 }{ 10 }=4.8$$

add everything up 
160+24+4.8 = 188.8
