What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘–’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged? 229 ÷ 41 + 50 × 2 – 44 = ?
9408
To solve the equation with the given interchanges, follow these steps:
Original expression: 229 ÷ 41 + 50 × 2 – 44
Interchanges: + and – are interchanged, × and ÷ are interchanged.
Revised expression after interchanging: 229 × 41 – 50 ÷ 2 + 44
Now, solve the revised expression by following the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS - Brackets, Orders (i.e. powers and square roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction):
- Multiplication: Calculate 229 × 41 = 9389
- Division: Calculate 50 ÷ 2 = 25
Substitute back into the equation: 9389 – 25 + 44
Next, perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:
- Subtraction: 9389 – 25 = 9364
- Addition: 9364 + 44 = 9408
Therefore, the value that replaces the question mark in the given equation is 9408.
