in the uk if you just put the numbers straight forward like that then it equals 1. we use brackets if we want to multiply the answers of a sum.

so for instance it would be (40+40) X (0+1). this would equal 81.

if you just type out the question like this 40+40x0+1 then you just do the simple math in the correct order. this would equal 1.

so the only 2 answers you can get are 1 and 81. no 41 in sight.

In this question multiplication has to be done first.

you are universally wrong if you think 41 is the answer. shyt i just did it on my calculator to cheat and the answer is 1.
I suppose it's alright if you think that. The cash register does all of the math for you anyway at work, so you don't really need to know this.
