This quick math puzzle asks you to solve 30 + 30 × 0 + 3 without a calculator. The important part is following the standard order of operations.
The correct answer is 33.
Multiplication comes before addition, so calculate 30 × 0 first. That equals 0. The expression then becomes 30 + 0 + 3.
Now add the remaining numbers: 30 + 3 = 33.
So the full solution is: 30 + (30 × 0) + 3 = 33.
These short equations often cause disagreement because people instinctively work from left to right. But multiplication and division must be completed before addition and subtraction unless parentheses tell you otherwise.
