E.  20

Multiplication takes precedence over addition so it's

10 + (10 x 0) + 10 =   10 + (0) + 10 = 20

it depends how you break up the problem..... however, if you work it right to left, then my answer is [i do think there might be some rule I am forgetting though, thus making my answer wrong]

A: 10

here is why

‎10 + 10 X 0 + 10 =

10+10=20 >>
20x0=0 >>
0+10=10

If it's binary, none of the above.............

100

Multiplication takes precedence over addition so it's

10 + (10 x 0) + 10 =   10 + (0) + 10 = 100

I know the correct answer, I dont care what the people of facebook said, and I was talking to Jim when I said nope, try again.
