she says 320 cause "Thats what the calculator says", but I'm guessing basic calculators don't use the order of operations rule.
 Quoting: amywood71605


They do, but the equation is poorly written by someone intentionally attempting to make a mess of mathematical syntax so the calculator will be wrong. They're not foolproof.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17478519


(4X4)+(4X4) + (4-(4X4))=

(16 + 16 ) + ( -12) =

32 + -12= 20
