If ‘+’ means ‘−’, ‘−’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’, and ‘÷’ means ‘+’, then find the value of: 8 + 4 − 12 × 6 ÷ 3

1. 6
2. 8
3. 3
4. 10

Correct answer: 3

Solution

Replacing the signs gives 8 − 4 × 12 ÷ 6 + 3. Now evaluate multiplication and division from left to right: 4 × 12 = 48, 48 ÷ 6 = 8, so the expression becomes 8 − 8 + 3 = 3.
