This is a classic example of how the Order of Operations (often known as PEMDAS or BODMAS) can be a bit of a \u201cbrain teaser\u201d if you try to read it strictly from left to right.<\/p>\n
To solve this correctly, you have to follow the standard mathematical hierarchy: Multiplication must be done before Addition or Subtraction.<\/p>\n
The Step-by-Step Breakdown:
\nThe equation is:$50 + 50 \u2013 25 \\times 0 + 2 + 2 = ?$Multiplication First: Focus on the central part of the equation: $25 \\times 0$. Any number multiplied by zero is $0$.New equation: $50 + 50 \u2013 0 + 2 + 2$Addition and Subtraction (Left to Right): Now we just move across the line:$50 + 50 = 100$$100 \u2013 0 = 100$$100 + 2 = 102$$102 + 2 = 104$<\/p>\n
The Correct Answer is: 104Common Mistake: Most people get this wrong by calculating from left to right without following the order of operations. If you do that, you\u2019d get $(100 \u2013 25) \\times 0$, which would result in $0 + 2 + 2$, giving you a false answer of 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
