Answer:

600+600/2

600/2=300

600+300=900

Answer is 900

Remember PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction) or the order of operations, from left to right. Since there’s no parentheses, exponents, or multiplication, we must first divide 600/2=300. Then we must add 600+300=900. The correct answer is 900
