The Correct Answer Explained
If you’re wondering why the result looks confusing at first, the key is to read the numbers at the end of each row carefully. When two 1s appear next to each other with no symbol between them, they are not separate values—they form 11.
Why the Last Line Changes the Result
On the final line, the expression includes 1 × 0, which equals 0. Because there are no parentheses, you must follow the standard order of operations:
- Multiplication comes first
- Addition is done afterward
That’s why the multiplication is calculated before any adding, and it changes the final total accordingly.
