Hey, this question is addressed to you: they ask YOU about YOUR opinion.
You re-address this question to me.
My opinion can be opposite to your, and, reversely, your opinion can be opposite to my.
So, I simply do not understand the GAME you play in . . .

The former is better, because it's easier to calculate, especially when in an exam that is DEVOID of a calculator, and time is of the essence.
The former involves less calculations, as you can see (37 * 3), as opposed to the latter which involves calculating 37 * 11, and 37 * 8 first,
and then subtracting them. Most would not want to do all this work, as it's time-consuming, and involves too much, to those folks!
