Correct answer
29
Why this answer is correct
Given:
162 + (5/8) of 344 + ? = 500
Concept used:
Follow the BODMAS rule according to the table given below:
Calculation:
162 + (5/8) of 344 + ? = 500
⇒ 256 + (5/8) of 344 + ? = 500
⇒ 256 + 215 + ? = 500
⇒ ? = 500 - 471
⇒ ? = 29
∴ 29 should come in place of the question mark (?).
