Happy and Brittany,

Some countries use a comma instead of a point to indicate a decimal number.

The question asker is telling you that they are from one of these countries.    

So the numbers are

 

31.5,     5.4,     18.9,     18.89,     10.8,     9,     9.01,     15.3          The magic number is 60 (+and - only)

$${\mathtt{31}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{18}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{15}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{4}} = {\mathtt{60}}$$
