BODMAS. Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition & Subtraction.

If the problem has numbers in brackets - solve those first (following the rules for the symbols in the bracketed part). Then numbers raised to a power (ordered) come next, followed by division, multiplication, addition and finally subtraction.

For example... to solve (2x62)-3/4...

The sum inside the brackets come first... 62 = 36 times that by the 2 = 72

The sum 3/4 equals 0.75, and you subtract that from the 72 obtained in the first sum.. to give the answer 71.25
