This short arithmetic puzzle tests whether you remember the order of operations. The expression is 35 + 45 × 0 + 8.
Multiplication must be completed before addition. Start with 45 × 0, which equals 0. The expression then becomes 35 + 0 + 8.
Answer: 43.
The zero is the trap. Multiplying one term by zero does not make the entire expression zero; it only turns the 45 × 0 part into zero.
After that, the remaining calculation is straightforward: 35 + 8 = 43.
