If "S" denotes "multiplied by", "V" denotes "subtracted from", "M" denotes "added to" and "L" denotes "divided by", then calculate the value of the following expression:
96 L 8 S 4 V 16 M 9=?
- A32
- B37
- C41
- D48
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Substitute the given operators with their standard mathematical symbols:
L→÷
S→×
V→−
M→+
Rewriting the expression:
96÷8×4−16+9
Now, solve step-by-step strictly following the BODMAS rule order:
Division:
96÷8=12
Expression becomes: 12×4−16+9
Multiplication:
12×4=48
Expression becomes: 48−16+9
Addition and Subtraction:
48+9=57
57−16=41
The final value is 41.
