Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.05" was replaced by "(205/100)". 2 more similar replacement(s)

Step  1  :

            41
 Simplify   ——
            20

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        205     41
  (3 +  ———) +  ——
        100     20

Step  2  :

            41
 Simplify   ——
            20

Equation at the end of step  2  :

        41     41
  (3 +  ——) +  ——
        20     20

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  20  as the denominator :

          3     3 • 20
     3 =  —  =  ——————
          1       20  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 3 • 20 + 41     101
 ———————————  =  ———
     20          20 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  101    41
  ——— +  ——
  20     20

Step  4  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 4.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 101 + 41     71
 ————————  =  ——
    20        10

Final result :

  71           
  —— = 7.10000
