PEMDAS [Apply the rules for the order of operations]
P=parenthesis
E=exponents or radicals, whichever comes first
M= multiplication or division, whichever comes first (including fractions)
D=division or multiplication, whichever comes first (including fractions)
A=addition or subtraction, whichever comes first
S=subtraction or addition, whichever comes first
.
[25/(%282%5E3-3%29](2)
[25/(8-3)](2)
(25/5)(2)
(5)(2)
