Not just dear sirs,there are some very smart madames here as well. You don't know where to begin because you're not trying hard enough.And the fact is,this is the third time you've posted this. Yes,I checked. Please don't do that.
81 3/4
+%28%284%2A81%29%2B3%29%2F4+
+%28324%2B3%29%2F4+
+327%2F4+
which again simplifies to 81.75

Good luck
