If $$+$$ stands for division; $$\times$$ stands for addition; $$-$$ stands for multiplication, $$\div$$ stands for subtraction, Which of the following is correct?
$$a: 25 \times 3 - 7 \div 8 + 12 = 18$$
$$b: 25 + 3 \times 7 - 8 \div 12 = 10.89$$
$$c: 25 - 3 \div 7 \times 8 + 12 = 132$$
$$d: 25 \div 3 \times 7 - 8 + 12 = 26.7$$
According to the problem,
a
$$25+3\times7-8\div12=18$$
$$25+3\times7-\frac{2}{3}=18$$
After solving the value will be decimal which is not possible.
b
$$25\div3+7\times8-12=10.89$$
$$8.33+7\times8-12=10.89$$
$$8.33+56-12=10.89$$
$$52.33=10.89$$
So b is wrong
c
$$25\times3-7+8\div12=132$$
$$25\times3-7+\frac{2}{3}=132$$
After solving the value will be decimal which is not possible.
d
$$25-3+7\times8\div12=26.7$$
$$25-3+7\times0.67=26.7$$
$$25-3+4.7=26.7$$
$$26.7=26.7$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
