Question

What is 3{5[10+5(500-100)+399]} equal to?

Answer 1

36,135

Explanation:

Okay. Handle 500-100 first. That brings it to 3{5[10+5(400)+399]}. Next, Handle 5(400). That brings you to 3{5{10+2,000+399]}. Then handle all the addition. That leads to 3[5(2,409)]. Next, configure 5(2409). That leads to 3(12045). Then do that one which ends as 36,135 for a final answer.

Answer 2

500-100=400
5(400)=2000
399+10=409
2000+409=2409
5(2409)=12045
3(12045)=36135
So it is equal to 36135
