(12 P 3) Q 4 S 5 P 8 = ?
Symbol Substitution Explained
The problem requires substituting given symbols with mathematical operators and then evaluating the resulting expression using the standard order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS).
Step 1: Symbol Substitution
Given the substitutions:
- 'P' stands for '\(\times\)'
- 'Q' stands for '\(\div\)'
- 'R' stands for '\(-\)'
- 'S' stands for '\(+\)'
The equation is: \((12 P 3) Q 4 S 5 P 8 = ?\)
Substituting the symbols, the equation becomes:
\((12 \)\times\( 3) \)\div\( 4 + 5 \)\times\( 8 = ?\)
Step 2: Equation Evaluation using BODMAS Rule
We evaluate the expression following the BODMAS rule (Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction):
- Brackets: First, solve the expression inside the brackets. \( (12 \times 3) = 36 \) The equation is now: \(36 \)\div\( 4 + 5 \)\times\( 8 = ?\)
- Division and Multiplication: Perform division and multiplication from left to right. \( 36 \div 4 = 9 \) \( 5 \times 8 = 40 \) The equation becomes: \(9 + 40 = ?\)
- Addition: Finally, perform the addition. \( 9 + 40 = 49 \)
Therefore, the value that comes in place of the question mark is 49.

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on whole numbers without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g., 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying, etc., to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
