If + means ×, × means −, − means ÷, and ÷ means +, what will be the value of the given expression?

36 + 10 – 2 × 18 ÷ 8

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 170.

Given expression: 36 + 10 – 2 × 18 ÷ 8

If + means ×, × means −, − means ÷, and ÷ means +, then

= 36 × 10 ÷ 2 − 18 + 8

= 36 × 5 − 18 + 8

= 180 − 18 + 8

= 188 − 18

= 170
