Correct Answer :

Option B

4.3

Solution :

The correct option is 4.3.

To simplify the given expression, we follow the standard order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS), which indicates that operations inside parentheses (brackets) must be performed first.

Step 1: Perform the addition inside the parentheses.

3 + 2.8 = 5.8

Step 2: Subtract 1.5 from the result.

5.8 - 1.5 = 4.3

Therefore, the simplified value of the given expression is 4.3.
