Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Solution: Place + or - signs between the numbers so the sum equals 64, then count how many plus signs (m) and minus signs (n) are used.

One valid arrangement is: 13 - 46 - 8 - 180 + 210 + 75 = 64

  1. 13 - 46 = -33

  2. -33 - 8 = -41

  3. -41 - 180 = -221

  4. -221 + 210 = -11

  5. -11 + 75 = 64

  • Signs between consecutive numbers (in order): -, -, -, +, +

  • Count of plus signs (m) = 2

  • Count of minus signs (n) = 3

Therefore, m - n = 2 - 3 = -1
