Question

If '+' means '-', '-' means '+', 'x' means '÷', then 50 + 10 - 5 × 5 = ?

• A. 41
• B. 60
• C. 65
• D. 70

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 41

Given:

• (+) means (−)

• (−) means (+)

• (×) means (÷)

Expression:

50 + 10 - 5 × 5

Replace the symbols:

50 − 10 + 5 ÷ 5

Now apply BODMAS:

• 5 ÷ 5 = 1

• 50 − 10 + 1 = 40 + 1 = 41

So, the answer is 41.
