I had come across this math problem ( shown below ) .
Now I illustrate how stupidly I solved the problem and then corrected myself .
Problem :
100 - 100 * 0 + 1 = ?
At the first glance itself , I thought it is a very simple and easy problem to solve . I started from the left hand side .
100 - 100 = 0 .
0 * 0 = 0.
0 + 1 = 1
I patted my back as I had solved the problem in less than 2 seconds !
Then I compared my answer with the actual answer . My head got reeled , correct answer is 101 !
I again stared at the problem . I realized that the method I followed is wrong . I started to think .....
.....
.....
.....
Now I remembered I am an engineer and I must apply BODMAS logic to solve this type of problem .
BODMAS = Bracket
Order
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction
It has to be solved in this way . Now in the given problem , there is no bracket .
We will come to next step , order .
It is division , multiplication , addition and subtraction .
So here we go ...
There is no division sign.
Next step , multiplication
100 * 0 = 0
Now the reduced equation is 100 - 0 + 1
Again next step , addition
100 + 1 = 101
Finally , its subtraction
101 - 0 = 101
This is how these type of problems should be solved .
No claps please !!!
