  • 7: left=$ (symbol), right=3 (number) -> No

  • 3: left=7 (number), right=6 (number) -> No

  • 6: left=3 (number), right=* (symbol) -> No

  • 5: left=+ (symbol), right=4 (number) -> No

  • 4: left=5 (number), right=@ (symbol) -> No

  • None of the numbers match the pattern Symbol - Number - Symbol.

    So the total number of such numbers is 0 (None).

    Final Answer

    There are none (0) such numbers in the series.
