Evaluate the expression: 18×520÷4+718 \times 5 - 20 \div 4 + 7.

Options

Option A is correct

92

Option B

78

Option C

7

Option D

80

Explanation

The correct option is 92. According to the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS), we first perform multiplication and division from left to right, and then addition and subtraction from left to right.\n1. Perform multiplication: 18×5=9018 \times 5 = 90.\n2. Perform division: 20÷4=520 \div 4 = 5.\n3. The expression becomes: 905+790 - 5 + 7.\n4. Perform subtraction: 905=8590 - 5 = 85.\n5. Perform addition: 85+7=9285 + 7 = 92.\nIncorrect options arise from violating the order of operations, such as performing subtraction before division or multiplication.
