In a certain code language, '÷' represents '+', '−' represents '×', '+', represents '÷' and '×' represents '−'. Find out the answer to the following question.
24÷14−5+10×14=?
- A39
- B45
- C27
- D17
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
First, let's substitute the original signs with the coded signs as given in the problem statement:
÷→+
−→×
+→÷
×→−
The equation becomes:
24+14×5÷10−14
Now, solve it using BODMAS rules:
Division: 5÷10=
10
5
=0.5
24+14×0.5−14
Multiplication: 14×0.5=7
24+7−14
Addition: 24+7=31
31−14
Subtraction: 31−14=17
Thus, the correct answer is 17.
÷→+
