Which of the following interchanges of signs would make the given equation correct?
192 ÷ 16 + 8 × 25 − 95 = 26
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. + and ×.
Given equation: 192 ÷ 16 + 8 × 25 − 95 = 26
Option 1: + and ×
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= 192 ÷ 16 × 8 + 25 − 95 = 26
= 12 × 8 + 25 − 95
= 96 + 25 − 95
= 121 - 95
= 26 = 26
As we have found our answer, there is no need to check further options.
Hence, + and × is the correct answer.
