@xapproachesinfinity

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Use PEMDAS to solve the top part.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Once you have your final value, divide by 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.375

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

How did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did 16%8 then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14+2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

16%8 means 16 percent of 8 it written this way 16x8/100

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

@xapproachesinfinity I'm pretty sure he is using % as a division symbol. He's still learning about PEMDAS.
