Formulae
Do I need to put brackets in the formula when I'm doing an addition i.e. =(45+78)

RE: formulae
Hi Rosemary,
Thanks for the question.
No you do not need to use brackets, but remember the computer uses the BODMAS order, brackets, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. So 3+4*2 will be 11 because it will do the multiplication first, if you don't want this to happen you can put brackets in, so (3+4)*2 =14
Hope that helps
Tracy
