25.46 - (18.78 - 5.68) First, always work out the brackets. HINT: Brackets mean to multiply. So, first we take 25.46, and as I said before, brackets mean to multiply. First, we have to find out what is in the brackets — we have to take away : 18.78 – 5.68 = 13.1 Then we take 25.46 and MULTIPLY 13.1 The answer is 333.5(correct to 1 d.p) Hope this helps!!!!!!
