Question

Evaluate the numerical expression.

(25)2
× 100 ÷ 23
+ [24 ÷ (13 – 5)] =

Answer 1

Do you mean (25)^2 or (25)·2? The notation "(25)2" is ambiguous. Here are both results:

- If (25)^2:
25^2 = 625
625 × 100 ÷ 23 = 62500/23
24 ÷ (13 − 5) = 24/8 = 3 = 69/23
Total = (62500 + 69)/23 = 62569/23 = 2720 9/23 ≈ 2720.391304

- If (25)·2:
(25·2) × 100 ÷ 23 = 50 × 100 ÷ 23 = 5000/23
24 ÷ (13 − 5) = 3 = 69/23
Total = (5000 + 69)/23 = 5069/23 = 220 9/23 ≈ 220.391304
