If' '+' means 'subtraction', - means 'multiplication '- ' means 'addition' and '÷ ' means 'x' division', then what is the value of the following expression?
3 − 21 + 153 × 17 ÷ 26
84
80
76
58
Let’s break this down step by step:
- The symbols have swapped meanings:
- '+' means subtraction
- '-' means multiplication
- '×' means addition
- '÷' means division
- So, rewrite the expression:
3 - 21 + 153 × 17 ÷ 26
becomes
3 * 21 - 153 + 17 / 26
- Calculate in the correct order (multiplication/division first):
- 3 * 21 = 63
- 17 / 26 ˜ 0.6538, but since options are integers, check if that’s a typo; check if order should be:
153 + 17 = 170 (using × as addition)
Now, do
3 * 21 = 63
170 / 26 ˜ 6.538
- Now put it together using '-' as multiplication and '+' as subtraction:
63 - 170 / 26
170 / 26 = about 6.538
63 - 6.538 ˜ 56.462
But hold on—are we following order of operations? Let’s check with brackets for operator precedence:
- Do multiplications/divisions first:
- 3 – 21 (which means 3 * 21 = 63)
- 153 × 17 (which means 153 + 17 = 170)
- 170 ÷ 26 (which means 170 / 26 ˜ 6.538)
Now, the expression is:
63 + 6.538 (because original '+' means subtraction)
But ‘+’ means subtraction, so:
So the closest integer in the options is 58.
Here are the options mapped out:
- 1: 84
- 2: 80
- 3: 76
- 4: 58 This fits our calculation best.
The correct answer is:
Option: 4, 58
That fits the steps and the logic. The key is translating the operators and carefully working through each stage.
