I know (at least I think I know).

But I didn’t put the parentheses around the 48/2. Google did.

Why is that? Try it yourself. Click the link in post 6.

Excel did the same thing in practice. Maybe I was wrong, but I thought multiplication took precedent over division, but in the case of Excel, it took division first, then multiplication. Excel gives 288 - you have to put the * in between the 2 and the (9+3) for Excel to work. I will have to look into it.
