Give two examples that show how using parentheses can change the order I. Witch operations are performed in an expression

The order of arithmetic operations is given by the acronym PEMDAS, which means
Parentheses,
Exponents,
Multiplication,
Division,
Addition,
Subtraction.

These two examples illustrate how the use of parentheses can change the order.

Example 1:
5+7/3x4-2/5 has an answer of 13.933.

Use PEMDAS to obtain
5+(7/3)x4-(2/5)
= 5+(2.3333x4)-0.4
= 5+9.3333-0.4
= 14.3333-0.4
= 13.933

If we apply the parentheses: (5+7)/3x4-2/5
The result is
(12/3)x4-(2/5)
= (4x4)-0.4
= 16-0.4
= 15.06
which is a different answer.

Example 2:
8/3²x5+4 has the answer 8.444

Use PEMDAS to obtain
8/(3²)x5+4
= (8/9)x5+4
= (0.8889x5)+4
= 4.4444+4
= 8.4444

If we apply the parentheses (8/3)²x5+4:
The result is
2.6667²x5+4
= 7.1113x5+4
= 35.5565+4
= 39.5565
which is a different answer.

Two friends Ana and Juan are buying books by joining the History Book
Travka [436]

Answer:

Ana  spent $17  per book on average.

Juan  spent $14.78  per book on average.

y = $15 + 17x--------- equation 1

y= $10 + 14.78 x------------- equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ana has to pay a yearly fee of $15 to join.

She spends a total of $525 for 30 books.

The amount spent on books = Total amount - yearly fee

                                                 = $525- $15= $510

Price per book on the average = $510/30= $ 17

Ana  spent $17  per book on average.

Juan has to pay a yearly fee of $10 to join.

He spends a total of $350 for 23 books.

The amount spent on books = Total amount - yearly fee

                                                 = $350- $10= $340

Price per book on the average = $340/23= $ 14.78≅ $15

Juan  spent $14.78  per book on average.

The function can be established if y gives the total cost and x gives the number of books

y = $15 + 17x--------- equation 1

y= $10 + 14.78 x------------- equation 2

Juan has a better deal because the yearly fee is less also the price per book is less.
