Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

131

Solution :

The correct answer is 131.

To evaluate the given mathematical expression, we follow the BODMAS rule, which defines the correct order of operations:

B: Brackets first
O: Orders / 'Of' operation
D: Division
M: Multiplication
A: Addition
S: Subtraction

The expression to evaluate is:

84-24÷6+(12 of 4)+18-15

Step 1: Simplify inside the Bracket ('Of' operation)
The term 'Of' indicates multiplication.
12 of 4=12×4=48
Substituting this value back into the expression gives:

84-24÷6+48+18-15

Step 2: Perform the Division
Divide 24 by 6:
24÷6=4
Substitute this result back into the expression:

84-4+48+18-15

Step 3: Perform Addition and Subtraction from left to right
First, subtract 4 from 84:
84-4=80
Next, add 48:
80+48=128
Then, add 18:
128+18=146
Finally, subtract 15:
146-15=131

Thus, the final answer is 131.
