How do you get 24 from 9, 6, 11 and 3?

Fundamental operations are the basics of mathematics. These include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Answer: (11 - 6) × 3 + 9 = 24 or [(11 - 9) + 6] × 3 = 24

There can be two solutions to this question. Let's have a look at the explanation.

Explanation:

We use the fundamental operations on the numbers to obtain the given result 24.

i) First, we subtract 6 from 11. Then, we multiply the result by 3 and then add 9 to obtain the final result.

   ⇒ 11 - 6 = 5

   ⇒ (11 - 6) × 3 = 15

   ⇒ (11 - 6) × 3 + 9 = 24

ii) First, we subtract 9 from 11. Then we add 6 to the result. Then, we multiply the result by 3.

   ⇒ 11 - 9 = 2

   ⇒ (11 - 9) + 6 = 8

   ⇒ [(11 - 9) + 6] × 3 = 24

Hence, two solutions are possible: (11 - 6) × 3 + 9 = 24 or [(11 - 9) + 6] × 3 = 24.
