[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 3258699, member: 8119"] 1. 8/2 (2+2) = 1 2. 6/2 (1+2) = 1 3. The ball is 5 cents. ($ 0.05) Order of Operations: PMDAS (Parenthesis, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) ...in that order. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations[/URL] 1. 8/2 (2+2) =_____ Parenthesis: 8/2 (2+2) -> 8/2 (4) Multiplication: 8/2 (4) -> 8/2x(4) -> 8/ 8 (note: without an explicit operator - I'm assuming the 2 and (4) are multiplied) Division: 8/ 8 -> 1 2. 6/2 (1+2) =_____ Parenthesis: 6/2 (1+2) -> 6/2 (3) Multiplication: 6/2 (3) -> 6/2x(3) -> 6/ 6 (note:without an explicit operator - I'm assuming the 2 and (3) are multiplied) Division: 6/ 6 -> 1 3. Little Johnny stole some money from his momma to buy a ball and a bat. The total he spent to buy the bat and ball out of the money he stole was $1.10. The bat costs one dollar more than the ball. So how much did that thievin’ punk-ass scumbag Little Johnnie have to pay for the ball? Total spent: 1.10. Ball costs: X Bat costs: X + 1 Total spent was: Ball + Bat = $1.10 -> (X) + (X+1) = 1.10 (X) + (X+1) -> 2X +1 2X + 1 = 1.10 -> 2X = 1.10 -1 2X=.10 -> X=0.05 Therefore: Ball = X = 0.05. Bat = X + 1 = 0.05 + 1 = 1.05 [/QUOTE]
