This was my first thought, but the symbols replacing the ?'s have to be the same.

Treat the two "?"s as two blanks. Then you see the answer.

The only symbol that works in place of both ? is a decimal point. The question states that it needs to be the same symbol replacing both question marks.

It's my fault. I didn't read the problem carefully.

Good job!

By the way, I have a house in Rancho Cugamonka.
