Answer: No, it does not matter.
Step-by-step explanation:
In addition the order does not matter, this is because of the commutative property of the addition, that says that: A + B = B + A
and the associative property, that says that:
A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C
for example, if you have 4 chips and your friend gives you her 5 chips, now you have a total of 4 + 5 = 9 chips.
The case is the same if you have 5 chips and your friend gives you 4 chips, now you have 5 + 4 = 9 chips.
Other example is that:
5 chips + ( 2chips + 1 chip) = 5 chips + 3 chips = 8 chips
(5 chips + 2 chips) + 1 chip = 7 chips + 1 chip = 8 chips
You can see that the order does not matter.
