The correct option is 56.
To evaluate the given mathematical expression, we follow the standard order of operations (BODMAS / PEMDAS rule):
1. Brackets / Parentheses
2. Orders / Exponents
3. Division and Multiplication (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Given expression:
Step 1: Evaluate the addition inside the brackets (parentheses).
Substitute this value back into the original expression:
Step 2: Perform the multiplication.
Substitute this back into the expression:
Step 3: Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.
First, subtract 88 from 100:
Next, add 32 to 12:
