Arithmetic operations must be performed in the following specific order:

1. Parentheses

The acronym PEMDAS can help remind you of the order.

Percentages are ratios of an amount compared to 100. The percent change of an old to new value is equal to 100% x \({ new - old \over old }\).

A sequence is a group of ordered numbers. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which each successive number is equal to the number before it plus some constant number.
