Elden [556K]2 years ago

The most basic and common reason to use parentheses, brackets, and braces is to control the order of operations.

Suppose you have an expression as:-

E = { ( 5-2 )8} 6

In this case, you would calculate 5 minus 2 first (parentheses), then multiply by 8 (brackets), then complete the part inside the curly braces, and finally multiply by 6.

Therefore the most basic and common reason to use parentheses, brackets, and braces is to control the order of operations.

Eric earned 60 points on his last test if there were 75 possible points what was his percent grade
Andru [333]
So 75 points is your 100%. You can do 60 over 75 is equal to X over 100. You divide your numerator(60) by your denominator(75) to get 85.7142857%, or to round to your nearest percent, your answer would be roughly 86%.
