I don't know for a fact but I think k=1.125
First do PEMDAS
There's no parenthesis. So move on to exponent. There's also no exponents. Move on to multiplication. There it is.
12×5=60.
There's no division so now next one is addition. Hey look! There is addition.
60+55=115.
So 115 is your answer.
DD continous quantitative
35 + 15 x 4 = 60. Paola read 60 pages in total.
