34

Explanation:

Apply the BIDMAS rule and first work out the brackets.

(The BIDMAS rule being: B rackets, I ndicies, D ivision,
M ultiplication, A ddition, S ubtraction)

(0.24xx5)=1.2
(0.66xx5)=3.3

It then becomes:

36-9-:[1.2+3.3]
36-9-:4.5

Apply the BIDMAS rule and do the division next and then the subtraction last.

9-:4.5=2
36-2=34
