If A = 40 ÷ 8 + 5 × 2 – 4 + 4 + 5 of 3 and B = 24 ÷ 4(4 + 2) + 19 of 2, then what is the value of (A - B)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. -9.
A = 40 ÷ 8 + 5 × 2 – 4 + 4 + 5 of 3
⇒ 5 + 10 + 15
⇒ 30
And
B = 24 ÷ 4(4 + 2) + 19 of 2
⇒ 24 ÷ 24 + 38
⇒ 39
Hence,
A – B = 30 – 39 = -9
