Below the next picture, you will find the correct answer.
ANSWER:
The correct answer is A: 61.
Why is that?
Well, first of all, we have to start by solving the multiplication, 60 x 0, which will be 0.
So this leaves us with 60 + 0 + 1 and so, it becomes quite easy to see that the correct answer is 61.
But if you forget you must always start with the multiplication, then it gets tricky!
