Question

• A. 35
• B. 112
• C. 234
• D. 207.41

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 207.41

The value of the expression is 207.41

The order of operations requires solving the innermost brackets first, then multiplication, addition, and subtraction inside the main bracket, and finally the division outside.

1. Solve the innermost bracket:
   $(5 \times 5) = 25$ Now rewrite the equation:
   $5600 \div (22 + 5 \times 6 - 50 + 25)$

2. Solve multiplication inside the main bracket:
   $5 \times 6 = 30$ Now rewrite the equation:
   $5600 \div (22 + 30 - 50 + 25)$

3. Solve addition and subtraction inside the main bracket:

   • Add the positive numbers: $22 + 30 + 25 = 77$

   • Subtract 50: $77 - 50 = 27$
     Now rewrite the equation:
     $5600 \div 27$

4. Perform the final division:
   $\frac{5600}{27} \approx \mathbf{207.41}$
