Does anyone know the answer for this equation:

$$((6.2 * 4) * ((0.00019106 * 2,715,297.4673) + (0.00226263 * 4,500) + 0.55))\\ * (1 + 0.1 + 0.02 ) / 150 * 10 = ?$$

I also do not understand how it is answered step by step, if you could provide how it is done that would be awesome

  • The standard order of operations is: exponents and roots, multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations – meiji163 Jul 25 '15 at 15:27

You can type it into Alpha and get $980.5234815591026858\overline{6}$ Do the calculations inside the parentheses first. That gets you everything you need here (congratulations to the problem setter for having enough parentheses) except whether the end has the $150 *10$ first (which puts the $10$ in the denominator) or divides by $150$ and then multiplies by $10$, (which puts the $10$ in the numerator). The second is what Alpha follows and is more standard.
