EQUALISER

WHITLEY JEWELLERY & ANTIQUES LTD

Place a different arithmetical sign (add, subtract, multiply, divide) in each circle so that the total of each line across and down is the same.

Proprietors Philip & Linda Stephenson

Perform the first calculation in each line first and ignore the mathematical law which says you should always perform division and multiplication before addition and subtraction.
