I picked A
what do you think?!
A. 8(10 + 3 · 2)
B. 10 · 8 – 3 · 2
C. 8(10 – 3 · 2)
D. 10 · 8 – 10 · 3 · 2

Answer 1

If Anthony has 8 packages with 10 markers in each, then he has 80 markers in all.

Answer 2

If he gives two packages (16 markers) to 3 friends, he loses 48 markers.

Answer 3

how do you solve?

Answer 4

Therefore, he has 32 markers left in total.

If you solve out each answer choice (using PEMDAS), you should get one that equals 32.
