Correct option is D
The original equation is 13 - 17 + 24 ÷ 54 × 18 + 28 × 14 = ?.
The operators have the following meanings:
- '+' means '×'
- '×' means '÷'
- '÷' means '-'
- '-' means '+'
Substituting the operators:
The equation becomes 13 + 17 × 24 - 54 ÷ 18 × 28 ÷ 14.
Apply BODMAS to simplify:
- Handle multiplication and division first:
17×24=40817 × 24 = 40817×24=408
54÷18=354 ÷ 18 = 354÷18=3
3×28=843 × 28 = 843×28=84
84÷14=684 ÷ 14 = 684÷14=6
The equation now becomes 13 + 408 - 6.
- Perform addition and subtraction:
13+408=42113 + 408 = 42113+408=421
421−6=415421 - 6 = 415421−6=415.
Correct Answer: 415
