This one is an old trick. 1997 I believe...

(100+6)*3 = 318 * 75 = 23850 - 50= 23800
23800/25 = 952


Its a method used to account for the fact that 318*3 = 954 but to subtract the two, you use 50/25 fraction which is 2 and you subtract the 2, then you get 952..

Always worth a watch!

Took a while.

100-8 = 92.
92 * (9-3) = 552.
552 + 1 = 553.

Im afraid 7*75 is 525 not 875, keep trying!

Should be 50+75 rather than 50+25

50+75 = 125
125×7 = 875 + 10 + 3

Jesus, I thought I was losing it.

Too many numbers. Only 6 are allowed for the game.

Ill solve it anyway only using 6! Unfair advantage but anyway we can keep going:

(75+25) = 100
(100-3)*9 = 873
7-6= 1
873 -1 = 872 (and 1 left over)
