After doing mathematical operations, we can conclude that it would take is 12 months to buy the smart-watch for $229.95 if we save $20 per month.

What are mathematical operations?

  • An operation is a function in mathematics that transforms zero or more input values into a clearly defined output value.
  • The operation's arity is determined by the number of operands.
  • The rules that specify the order in which we should solve an expression involving multiple operations are known as the order of operations.
  • PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction (from left to right).
