Here is the correct answer
Below the picture below, we present the solution to the math riddle.
The correct answer is 104.
Always start with the multiplication
How then do we arrive at that?
Because you start from the multiplication, according to the order of operations.
First, you calculate 25 x 0, which of course becomes 0.
Then we are left with 50 + 50 – 0 + 2 + 2, which is 104.
The important thing, to get the right answer, is to start with multiplication. Otherwise, things will go wrong.
