40 + 40 * 0 + 1 = ?

This is circulating on facebook. There are different opinions about this

Is the result = 0

= 1

= 41

Or = 81

I see it like this.

40+40 = 80
80*0 = 0
0+1 = 1

?

But yeah, i suck at mathematics

Err

40 + 40 * 0 + 1 == 40 + (40*0) + 1. Easy now?

what ygrene said...
PEMDAS --> 40 + 40 * 0 + 1 = 40 + 40(0) + 1 = 41
This isn't a matter of 'different opinions'. It's basic arithmetic.

---------------
PEMDAS = Order of Operation
(),^,x,/,+,-
-------------------
So...No () and no ^ so next is x
(40*0) = 0
------------------
Next is +
40+0+1 = 41

You guys have this all wrong.

40 + 40 = 80.

40 * 0 is 0.

0 + 1 = 1

So (80 + 0 + 1)i = -9

I have seen some calculations, where you can doubt, because they have been written in a rather twisted way, where you need to keep a good grip on the framework to remember the operator precedence. But this? It's 4th grade maths.
