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
Just as
689 + 32 ! 16 = 691
689 + (32 ÷ 16) = 689 + 2 = 691
and
697 + 100 ! 10 = 707
697 + (100 ÷ 10) = 697 + 10 = 707
Similarly,
299 + 39 ! 13
299 + (39 ÷ 13)
39 ÷ 13 = 3
299 + 3 = 302
Correct answer: 2) 302
