BOTH are Correct Wink depends on which way you look at the problem...UK uses BIDMAS/BODMAS, while US uses PEMDAS !

PEMDAS > Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction


BIDMAS > Brackets Indices Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction


I use BIDMAS Big Grin

Good Luck with ur Trail tomorrow Smile
