Question

The sum of 8 times a number 4 and 5 equals .

Answer 1

37

Explanation:

This may look like a complicated problem but it's some simple analyzing of the problem to get the job done:

"The sum" tells that we are going to be adding together the next two phrases separated by "and"s.

That is "8 times a number 4" and "5"

Therefore, we need to add 2 groups:

(8*4) + (5)

Now, we simply use PEMDAS (or GEMDAS) to solve the expression:

(8*4) + (5)

= (32) + (5)

= 32 + 5

= 37
