Exactly how I did it in my head. No idea where 288 came from. Some people forgot their order of operations?

Please
Excuse
My
Dear
Aunt
Sally

Thats all you need to remember in life

Exactly. I'm still trying to figure out how they got 288.

I love how at a young age, we're taught to keep the () first

Some of these fools forget, thats why *+!% doesn't add up correctly for them in the end

Glad I wasn't the only one that thought like this

This is crazy, my boy texted my friend while we were driving to ball just last night and we discussed this in depth.

But yeah, you follow BEDMAS/PEDMAS

48/2(9+3)

BRACKETS/PARENTHESIS FIRST,

48/2(12)

After this, those brackets are simply a multiplication symbol, so you can rewrite as:
48/2x12

At this point you follow BEDMAS and go left to right
48/2 = 24

Then you have 24(12) or 24x12

= 288

It's actually 72

[finallyfamous]

^ That's not how the original problem is written though..

By that they are just multiplying both sets

It's 2

My dude, you have it all wrong... its not PEDMAS... its PEMDAS.
Its not "Please excuse dear my aunt sally" its Please excuse MY DEAR aunt sally. 

Thats why half of these dudes got it wrong 

Multiplication comes first, then division. So you would multiply the 2 x 12 before you divide it by 48. which gives you 2 in the end.
