Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
289 + 17 × 12 ÷ 216 − 300 = 120
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. ÷ and +.
Option 1: ÷ and +
289 + 17 × 12 ÷ 216 − 300 = 120
(289 ÷ 17) × 12 + 216 - 300 = 120
(17 × 12) + 216 - 300 = 120
204 + 216 - 300 = 120
204 - 84 = 120
120 = 120
