		Section 1: Getting Started 23
Example: Calculate (9 + 17 − 4) ÷ 4.
Keystrokes	Display
9 v	9.0000	Digit entry terminated.
17 +	26.0000	(9 + 17).
4 -	22.0000	(9 + 17	– 4).
4 ÷	5.5000	(9 + 17	– 4) ÷ 4.

Even more complicated problems are solved in the same manner-using automatic storage and retrieval of intermediate results. It is easiest to work from the inside of parentheses outwards, just as you would with calculations on paper.

Example: Calculate (6 + 7) × (9 − 3)

Keystrokes	Display
6 v	6.0000
7 +	13.0000
9 v	9.0000
3 -	6.0000
*	78.0000

First solve for the intermediate result of (6 + 7).

Then solve for the intermediate result of (9 − 3).

Then multiply the intermediate results together (13 and 6) for the final answer.

Try your hand at the following problems. Each time you press v or a function key in a calculation, the preceding number is saved for the next operation.

(16 × 38) – (13 × 11) = 465.0000 4 × (17 – 12) ÷ (10 – 5) = 4.0000

232 – (13 × 9) + 1/7 = 412.1429

[(5.4 × 0.8) ÷ (12.5 − 0.72 )] = 0.5998
