11.7

Explanation:

Using PEDMAS to simplify order of operations.

first is Parenthesis , hence (4.9 - 2,25 ) = 2.65

There are no exponents nor multiplication / division

addition and subtraction have equal precedence

hence 12.95 - 2.65 + 1.4 may be done in the order they are in.

thus 12.95 - 2.65 + 1.4 = 11.7
