This is puzzle which roam around the social media
Please note some of the interesting methods: you can find out lot many other answers also.
11,3 + 15,7 + 3 = 30 Some country like Germany use comma for decimal point
(11.3+ 15.7+ +3= 30)
Countries that use a comma as decimal mark:

OR.
This can be solved by going a bit out of the box and using brackets & factorials.
3! + (3+1)! = 30
where,
n! = n factorial = product of all natural numbers less than and equal to n
Therefore, 3! = 1x2x3 = 6
and
(3+1)! = 4! = 1x2x3x4 = 24
=> 3! + (3+1)! = 6+24 = 30
