      Yes, that’s why I was asking why 59% just assumed there were parentheses in the equation.

        I see your thinking now. I thought you might not remember that multiplication, division comes before addition, subtraction and were just doing right to left operations.

        Didn’t really understand how the imaginary parenthesis came in.
