I could, but then I'd be doing your homework for you. Just remember the order of operations - multiplying always comes before addition.

So, multiply 811 x 200
add 878 to that answer
subtract the answer to 201 x 701.

I have 162200, but never was much good at maths
Weee, having done it I might as well post the answer I got, which was

netibiza- your answer seems to be just 811x200

I agree with Rollo, assuming sphinxy has written the question correctly.

Despite once being a bit of a mathematician and maths teacher, I'm not keen on the BIDMAS/BODMAS approach. I think it's better to use brackets where possible. So the question should be
878 - (201 x 701) + (811 x 200) = ?

Would I be near the mark if I said I thought you were taking the mick with this question sphinx ?

I'm not surprised I got it wrong, I'm more ornamental than useful!!
Do we get marks for this ? Like A+ or similar !!
