• Ravindra Hogade says:

for bar or line bracket, You need to consider only numbers written below. Also do not consider the sign whether negative or positive, if it is not under line bracket. Always consider whatever written below it.

7. Lokeshwar says:

Hi,

Shouldn’t this be right ->
24/4 of 3 + 50 be solved as ->
= 24/12 + 50
= 2+50
=52

Instead of ->
24/4 of 3+50 as ->
=6*3+50
=18+50
=68

??

Which one is right?
