Question

How do you evaluate `60 \times 4 - 25 \times 2^3`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Using PEMDAS method we first execute the Exponent operations:

`60 xx 4 - 25 xx 2^color(red)(3) => 60 xx 4 - 25 xx 8`

Next, we execute the Multiplication operations from left to right:

`color(red)(60) xx color(red)(4) - color(blue)(25) xx color(blue)(8) => 240 - 200`

Lastly, we execute the Subtraction operation:

`240 - 200 = 40`
