In mathematics, multiplication & division comes before addition or subtraction unless there are brackets stating otherwise. So the sum:-
What is 8 + 3 - 4 x 2 + 1 - 5 x 10?
becomes
What is 8 + 3 - 8 + 1 - 50?
= - 46From MSE Martin - Some General Tips On Holiday Home Organisations and Sales Meetings

That may well be correct but 46 is not an option on the page so now what? oh dear ! 0 -
As - 46 is not an option I suggest we go with 100
