Question

Find the value of expression which is given as, \[224+8\times 4-318\div 6\] is equal to:
A. 203
B. 223
C. 329
D. 429

Answer 1

Hint: For solving questions of these types we need to understand a rule which is BODMAS rule or the order expressed by this rule first solve brackets then keep following the order and perform subtraction at the end.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We will solve the question by following the BODMAS rule which is as follows,
B - Brackets (Earlier called parenthesis)
O - Of (Earlier known as powers or exponents)
D - Division
M - Multiplication
A - Addition
S - Subtraction
As a matter of solving, these are in the order of first priority from top to last priority at the end.
 Now as per the rule, first we will solve division part of the question \[224+8\times 4-318\div 6\] which is \[\dfrac{318}{6}\] and we will get \[53\] as the answer.
Now, the question becomes \[224+8\times 4-53\], we will solve the multiplication \[8\times 4\] and we will get \[32\] as the answer.
After multiplication, the question becomes \[224+32-53\], we will go for addition of \[224+32\] and we get \[256\].
At the end, the question becomes \[256-53\], we will solve the subtraction part which is \[256-53\] and in the end the answer becomes \[203\].
So the correct answer is option. A. \[203\]

Note: Do not get confused between multiplication operations as they are the same but are mentioned separately because of was first written as exponent or powers. Do not change the order for applying the operations as the answer will come out to be different and not correct. Brackets are also known as parenthesis, so do not get confused. If there are exponents and powers in the question then solve them in place of operation. First go for brackets then for powers (if they are in the question) then follow the original order. Special care must be taken regarding the sign of terms too.
