Here is a quick math challenge that often makes people pause: 80 − 10 × 0 + 6 = ?
Multiplication comes before addition and subtraction. That means you need to work out 10 × 0 first, rather than working from left to right.
Since 10 × 0 = 0, the calculation becomes 80 − 0 + 6. The correct result is 86.
