Hi all

I have a formula and am struggling to get the correct answer. As the
calculation contains more than one 'operator, i need to use brackets,
however, I'm not entirely sure where these should go.

My calculation is =10 10*2 2*10

My total should therefore be 420.

Where do the brackets go in order to get to the right answer???

Thank you.
Louise


Try

=((10 10)*2 2)*10
