$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 9.50 \cdot 10.3 } \\ { 10.50 \cdot 11 } \\ { 11.15 - 11.3 } \\ { 11.40 \cdot 12 . } \\ { 12.05 - 12 } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$-0.15,0.05,97.85,115.5,136.8$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 9.5 and 10.3 to get 97.85.

$$sort(97.85,10.5\times 11,11.15-11.3,11.4\times 12,12.05-12)$$

Multiply 10.5 and 11 to get 115.5.

$$sort(97.85,115.5,11.15-11.3,11.4\times 12,12.05-12)$$

Subtract 11.3 from 11.15 to get -0.15.

$$sort(97.85,115.5,-0.15,11.4\times 12,12.05-12)$$

Multiply 11.4 and 12 to get 136.8.

$$sort(97.85,115.5,-0.15,136.8,12.05-12)$$

Subtract 12 from 12.05 to get 0.05.

$$sort(97.85,115.5,-0.15,136.8,0.05)$$

To sort the list, start from a single element 97.85.

$$97.85$$

Insert 115.5 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$97.85,115.5$$

Insert -0.15 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$-0.15,97.85,115.5$$

Insert 136.8 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$-0.15,97.85,115.5,136.8$$

Insert 0.05 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$-0.15,0.05,97.85,115.5,136.8$$

Evaluate

$$97.85,\ 115.5,\ -0.15,\ 136.8,\ 0.05$$
