Math Problem Statement

100/4(2+3)=

Solution

To solve the expression 100/4(2+3)100/4(2+3), we must follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

  1. Parentheses/Brackets: Evaluate any expressions within parentheses first.
  2. Exponents/Orders: Solve any exponents.
  3. Multiplication and Division: Perform these operations from left to right.
  4. Addition and Subtraction: Perform these operations from left to right.

Now let's solve the expression step-by-step:

  1. Evaluate inside the parentheses:
    2+3=52 + 3 = 5

  2. Rewrite the expression:
    100/4(5)100 / 4(5)

  3. Perform the division:
    100/4=25100 / 4 = 25

  4. Multiply the result by 5:
    25×5=12525 \times 5 = 125

Therefore, the value of the expression 100/4(2+3)100/4(2+3) is 125.
