CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Division and multiplication have equal rank, so work left to right: $36 \div 4 = 9$ , then $9 \times 3 = 27$ .
Subtraction and addition, also left to right: $27 - 5 = 22$ , then $22 + 2 = 24$ .

Worth noting

Doing the multiplication first gives $36 \div 12 = 3$ and a final answer of 0; subtracting $5 + 2$ together gives 20. Both break the left-to-right rule.
