Why this answer is correct
Given
40% of 820 + 60% of 390 – 511 = 49 + ?
Concept Used
Follow the BODMAS rule according to the table given below:
Calculation
40% of 820 + 60% of 390 – 511 = 49 + ?
⇒ 4 × 82 + 6 × 39 - 511 - 49 = ?
⇒ ? = 328 + 234 - 560
⇒ ? = 2
∴ The required answer is 2
Alternative method:
We can also solve it by fraction method
As we know fraction value of 40% = 2/5
And, 60% = 3/5
40% of 820 + 60% of 390 – 511 = 49 + ?
⇒ 2/5 × 820 + 3/5 × 390 – 511 – 49 = ?
⇒ ? = 328 + 234 - 560
⇒ ? = 2
∴ The required answer is 2
