In the following expression, the symbols have been replaced by code symbols. Find the value of the expression: $4 * 5 \# 2 @ 6$, where $* = -$, $@ = +$, $\# = \times$, and $& = \div$.

1. 0
2. 1
3. 2
4. 3

Correct answer: 0

Solution

Substituting the symbols gives $4 - 5 \times 2 + 6$. Using BODMAS, $5 \times 2 = 10$, so the expression becomes $4 - 10 + 6 = 0$.
