Question

Payton has $20 to spend at the carnival Payton purchased 30 game tickets,2 slices of pizza, and one ice cream what number is equivalent to 20-0.45x20-1.75x2-2

Answer 1

5.5

Explanation:

The given operation is :

20 - 0.45 x 20 - 1.75 x 2 - 2

In the above algorithm contains more than one operations to be executed. Here we use the BODMAS rule that states that we first calculate the brackets then the orders, following multiplication or division and then at last addition or subtraction. Therefore,

20 - ( 0.45 x 20 ) - ( 1.75 x 2 ) - 2

= 20 - 9 - 3.5 - 2

= 11 - 3.5 - 2

= 7.5 - 2

= 5.5
