let's just wrap parentheses everywhere
(48) / (2) * (9+3)
= (48) / (2) * (12)
= 48 / 2 * 12
= 24 * 12
= 288Last edited by ScottGomez; 04-07-2011 at 12:28 PM.

Even though you're red I'll respond.
A) Fail troll
B) All depends if the 12 is times 48 or times 2. cus it could be like (48/2)*12 or 48/(2*12)

(48/2)*(9+3)=288
48/(2*(9+3)=2
All about OOP, it's not clearly identified which comes first.

I got 288
Brackets first, then divide the 48 by 2, then multiply the 48 with 12 (the brackets) and you get 288

Well that's obvious if the (9+3) is not in the denominator.Originally Posted by tcatcrawler
