Most People Get the Wrong Answer—Will You?

The expression is:

5 + 5 × 5 − 5 ÷ 5

Remember the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

  1. Multiplication and division first (from left to right).
  2. Addition and subtraction afterward.

So:

  • 5 × 5 = 25
  • 5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now substitute:

5 + 25 − 1

= 30 − 1

= 29

Correct Answer: 29
