The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( 120 + 3\% \text{ of } 600 - 12 \times 0.5 = ? \), we will follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate 3% of 600**: \[ 3\% \text{ of } 600 = \frac{3}{100} \times 600 = 18 \] 2. **Calculate \( 12 \times 0.5 \)**: \[ 12 \times 0.5 = 6 \] 3. **Substitute the results back into the equation**: \[ 120 + 18 - 6 \] 4. **Perform the addition**: \[ 120 + 18 = 138 \] 5. **Perform the subtraction**: \[ 138 - 6 = 132 \] Thus, the value of \( ? \) is \( 132 \). ### Final Answer: The answer is \( 132 \), which corresponds to option (d).
