Question

If the sum of 28 and 22 is multiplied by 8, what is the result?

1. A. 384
2. B. 400 (Correct answer)
3. C. 415
4. D. 416

Correct Answer

Option B — 400

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 400.

Key Points

• Work strictly in the order the sentence gives: first the sum, then the multiplication.
• 28 + 22 = 50, and 50 × 8 = 400.

Additional Information

• The phrasing *the sum of 28 and 22 is multiplied by 8* brackets the addition, i.e. (28 + 22) × 8 — the words do the work of parentheses.
• Reading it as 28 + (22 × 8) gives 204, which is why the wording must be parsed before any arithmetic.
• Translate a worded expression into symbols first; that single habit prevents most errors in this question type.
