How do you go from 98 to 720 using just one letter?
Choose an answer
A.Add a "7" in front of 98
B.Multiply 98 by itself
C.Add an "s" to make it plural
D.Add an "x" between "ninety" and "eight": Ninety x Eight = 720
Hint: It's a 10-word phrase with 39 letters, starting with "A".
Answer
Add an "x" between "ninety" and "eight": Ninety x Eight = 720
Why this is the answer
Spelling out "98" as "ninety eight" and inserting the letter x between the words creates "ninety x eight," which multiplies to 720.
