I don’t get it.

(30 / 0.5 = 60) + 10 = 70

The trick is that in plain English people might read it as "30 divided into half", meaning 15 instead of 60.

Perhaps OP thinks the divisional slash can also be used in place of * or x ?

Yeah, this one is a dud. Damn bot sometimes gets crappy riddles from the api.

Edit: now that I actually read it it is pretty clever.
