If "+" means multiplication, "-" means division, "×" means subtraction and "÷" means addition, then evaluate: 18 - 3 + 6 ÷ 2 × 4 = ?

1. 35
2. 38
3. 31
4. 34

Correct answer: 34

Solution

Replace the symbols as given: 18 ÷ 3 × 6 + 2 - 4. Now apply BODMAS from left to right for multiplication/division: 18 ÷ 3 = 6, 6 × 6 = 36, then 36 + 2 - 4 = 34. So the correct answer is 34.
