If 689 $ 32 ! 16 = 691 and 697 $ 100 ! 10 = 707, then what is the value of 299 $ 39 ! 13?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Identifying the Pattern:
By looking at the numbers, we can deduce that the symbols represent specific operations:
The symbol “!” represent division (÷)
The symbol “$” represent addition (+)
Test this logic:
Equation 1: 689 + (32 ÷16) = 689 +2 = 691
Equation 2: 697 + (100 ÷10) = 697 +10 = 707
Apply same to: 299 $ 39 ! 13
= 299 + (39 ÷13)
= 299 +3
= 302
Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
