Tisha should have multiplied 4949 and 99 before dividing. The order of operations says to multiply before you divide.\newline(B)No, Tisha made a mistake going from Step 33 to Step 44. Tisha should have multiplied 22 and 33 before subtracting. The order of operations says to multiply before you subtract.\newline(C)Yes, Tisha's work is correct.
  1. Evaluate Exponent and Division: Step 11: Evaluate the exponent and division first.\newlineCalculation: 72=497^2 = 49, then 490÷49=10490 \div 49 = 10.
  2. Multiply by 99: Step 22: Multiply the result by 99.\newlineCalculation: 10×9=9010 \times 9 = 90.
  3. Multiply 22 by 33: Step 33: Multiply 22 by 33.\newlineCalculation: 2×3=62 \times 3 = 6.
  4. Subtract Step 33: Step 44: Subtract the result of Step 33 from Step 22.\newlineCalculation: 906=8490 - 6 = 84.
  5. Final Calculation: Step 55: There is no further calculation needed as all operations have been correctly applied.
