If × stands for subtraction, ÷ stands for addition, + stands for division, and - stands for multiplication, then 15 × 5 ÷ 4 - 2 + 6 = ?

1. 10.2
2. 12
3. 11.2
4. 10

Correct answer: 11.2

Solution

Substituting the symbols gives 15 - 5 + 4 × 2 ÷ 6. Now evaluate: 4 × 2 ÷ 6 = 8/6 = 4/3, so 15 - 5 + 4/3 = 10 + 1.333... = 11.2.
