27, point, 3, plus, left parenthesis, minus, 74, point, 3, right parenthesis27.3+(−74.3)

minus, 27, point, 3, minus, 74, point, 3−27.3−74.3

74, point, 3, minus, 27, point, 374.3−27.3

Let's simplify the given expression:

\[
27.3 + 74.3
\]

This is straightforward addition:

\[
27.3 + 74.3 = 101.6
\]

Now, let's evaluate the multiple choice options:

1. **\(74.3 - (-27.3)\)**: 
   This changes the addition to subtraction of a negative, which is incorrect. Subtracting a negative becomes addition, but the expression already involves addition.

2. **\(27.3 + (-74.3)\)**: 
   This changes the second number to negative, turning the expression into subtraction, which is incorrect. The original expression adds both numbers.

3. **\(-27.3 - 74.3\)**: 
   This changes both numbers to negative and subtracts them, which results in a large negative number. This is incorrect.

4. **\(74.3 - 27.3\)**: 
   This subtracts 27.3 from 74.3. Although this is a correct operation, it does not match the original expression, which involves addition.

### Conclusion:
None of the options match exactly, but if we were to choose the closest, **option 4**: \(74.3 - 27.3\) is the closest because it correctly involves the numbers, even though it represents subtraction, which gives 47,
