How about just:
awk '{if(/bogomips/){print $3}}' < /proc/cpuinfo | bc 6121.06
(NB. Adding a + with awk and removing the newline with tr, only to reverse
both of those with cut is futile.)
Although just:
echo "File 6210.06 is unavailable."
Would probably be the simplest ;)
All the best...

You're a bad, bad man. I have been known to waste days reducing such
expressions, but not today! Just one simplification to make it spawn 1
less process:
awk '{if(/bogomips/){ print "+" $3 }}' < /proc/cpuinfo | tr -d '\n' |
cut -c 2- | blah blah blah
