Question

The product of 7 and 8 is added to 65 and then subtracted from 112Which one of the

following the correct arrangement given below?

a. \{(7 * 8) + 56\} - 112

c. 112 - \{(7 * 8) + 56\}

a

b. 112 - (7 * 56 + 8 * 56)

d. 112 - \{(7 * 8) + 65\}

Answer 1

112 -((7*8) + 65)

Explanation:

"The product of 7 and 8" can be written as "7*8"

"is added to 65" can be written as "+" [so now we have ((7*8)+65)]

"and then subtracted from 112" can be written as "112 - "

Put these together: 112 -((7*8) + 65)

The answer options seem mistyped. Compare the above expression with the correct options. It is most likely c: 112 - \{(7 * 8) + 56\}, which becomes 112 - {(7 * 8) + 56} when the "\" marks are removed.
