2^2(3^2+4^2)
10^2[

Okay, adding exponents, to what purpose

Well, it is for school.
And I do not understand how to work this problem.
Every time I attempt to solve it, I get a different answer.

The answer is 1. Is that what you got?

Exponentiation has preference followed by (mult and div) and then (addition and substraction)

Re-writing as:

(2*2)*((3*3)+(4*4))/(10*10) = (4*(9+16))/100 = 1
