95% of people get these calculations wrong… are you one of those 5%?

Not all actions are performed in the order in which they occur.

The rule is simple:
 you multiply before you subtract.

But this… many forget.

They calculate:
8 – 4 = 4
4 – 1 = 3
3 × 3 = 9

And they think the answer is 9.

Others try a different logic…
and find 3.

But in both cases… the numbers don’t add up.

Let’s now do the calculations correctly.

 Let’s start with the multiplication:
1 × 3 = 3

Only then do we proceed:
 8 – 4 – 3

And here we count from left to right:
 8 – 4 = 4
 4 – 3 = 1
