Given:

Expression: 15% of 1.5 + 0.15 ÷ 0.1 + 0.01 of 1.1 × 0.5 + 2.5 × 25

Formula Used:

1. a% of b = a/100 × b

2. Division and multiplication operations follow BODMAS/BIDMAS rules.

Calculation:

15% of 1.5

⇒ 15/100 × 15/10

⇒ 0.225

0.01 of 1.1 × 0.5 

⇒ 1/100 × 11/10 × 5/10

⇒ 0.0055

2.5 × 25

⇒ 25/10 × 25

⇒ 62.5

Now, summing all the parts together:

0.225 + 1.5 + 0.0055 + 62.5

⇒ 0.225 + 1.5 = 1.725

⇒ 1.725 + 0.0055 = 1.7305

⇒ 1.7305 + 62.5 = 64.2305

The correct answer is option 4.
