Hello,
How on earth do I solve this? Please help, it’s on a primary school maths comp but it is the last question so think it’s more high school level. Many thanks for any help

The answer is 43.

The answer comes up on a Google search of the question. Neither my laptop calculator of my phone calculate the answer in that form. I have an engineering degree, a primary teaching degree, but I can't explain at primary school level. I can understand why it's that answer, but it's beyond what I'd normally teach to year 6.

Sorry, meant to say calculators are not allowed!
