Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. -123 - 77

Answer: Less

-123 - 77 = -200

Note the - before 123 making it a negative number.
Subtracting 77 from -123 gives -200, which is 400 less than 200.

2. -99 + 111

Answer: Less

-99 + 111 = 12

Adding 111 to -99 does give a positive answer, but it is only 12, which is 188 less than 200.

3. 11 x 18

Answer: Less

11 x 18 = 198

Multiplying 11 by 18 gives 198, which is 2 less than 200.

4. 2 x (7^2 + 3^2)

Answer: Less

2 x (7^2 + 3^2) = 2 x (49 + 9) = 2 x 58 = 116

Start by working out the expression inside the brackets.
Remember that ^ is used for an exponent.
7^2 = 7 x 7 = 49
3^2 = 3 x 3 = 9
49 + 9 = 58
Then do the last multiplication.
2 x 58 = 116, which is 84 less than 200.

5. 99 + 101

Answer: 200

99 + 101 = 200

Straightforward addition leads to the answer 200.

6. -400 + 600

Answer: 200

-400 + 600 = 200

Note the - before 400 making it a negative number.
Then adding 600 to that gives 200.

7. -20 x -10

Answer: 200

-20 x -10 = 200

Both the numbers for this multiplication are negative, meaning that the resultant product will be positive. So we have 200.

8. 800 / 4

Answer: 200

800 / 4 = 200

Dividing 800 by 4 gives 200.

9. (17 x 37) - (11 x 39)

Answer: 200

(17 x 37) - (11 x 39) = 629 - 429 = 200

This uses both multiplication and subtraction.
Work out the expressions inside the brackets first.
17 x 37 = 629
11 x 39 = 429
Then subtract 429 from 629 to get 200.

10. 2^3 x 5^2

Answer: 200

2^3 x 5^2 = 8 x 25 = 200

Remember that ^ is used for an exponent.
2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
5^2 = 5 x 5 = 25
Multiplying 8 by 25 gives 200.

11. 14^2 + 2^2

Answer: 200

14^2 + 2^2 = 196 + 4 = 200

Don't forget that ^ is used for an exponent.
14^2 = 14 x 14 = 196.
2^2 = 2 x 2 = 4.
Adding 4 to 196 gives 200.

12. 5 x (7^2 - 3^2)

Answer: 200

5 x (7^2 - 3^2) = 5 x (49 - 9) = 5 x 40 = 200

Start by working out the expression inside the brackets.
Remember that ^ is used for an exponent.
7^2 = 7 x 7 = 49
3^2 = 3 x 3 = 9
49 - 9 = 40
Then do the last multiplication.
5 x 40 = 200.

13. 3 x 67

Answer: More

3 x 67 = 201

Multiplying 3 by 67 gives 201, which is 1 more than 200.

14. 40000 / 20

Answer: More

40000 / 20 = 2000

Dividing 40000 by 20 gives 2000, which is ten times 200.

15. (13 x 33) - (3 x 43)

Answer: More

(13 x 33) - (3 x 43) = 429 - 129 = 300

This uses both multiplication and subtraction.
Work out the expressions inside the brackets first.
13 x 33 = 429
3 x 43 = 129
Then subtract 129 from 429 to get 300, which is 100 more than 200.

16. 25^2 - 15^2

Answer: More

25^2 - 15^2 = 625 - 225 = 400

Don't forget that ^ is used for an exponent.
25^2 = 25 x 25 = 625.
15^2 = 15 x 15 = 225.
Subtracting 225 from 625 gives 400 which is twice 200.
