Question

My question was;

find the value of 96 divided by (7+5) + 19 x 4
both answers came back at 1.09
my math packet sheet said the answer is 84

why?

Answer 1

Order of operations. (PEMDAS)

First do 7+5 = 12
Next do 19x4 = 76
Then do 96/12 = 8
Finally do 76+8 = 84

Answer 2

84.

Explanation:

96 / (7 + 5) + 19 * 4

Use order of operations (PEMDAS* ).

Perform the operation in the parentheses first:

= 96/12 + 19*4

Now the divide and multiplication:

= 8 + 76

and finally the add:

= 84.
