If ‘÷’ stands for subtraction, ‘–’ stands for addition, ‘×’ stands for division and ‘+’ stands for multiplication, which one of the following equations is correct?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 35 ÷ 4 – 25 × 5 + 5 = 56
All four options have the same left side, so write it with the real signs, work it out once by BODMAS and pick the option with that value on the right.
‘÷’ becomes ‘–’, ‘–’ becomes ‘+’, ‘×’ becomes ‘÷’ and ‘+’ becomes ‘×’: 35 – 4 + 25 ÷ 5 × 5
\(25\div5=5\)
\(5\times5=25\)
\(35-4+25=56\)
