Understanding how to use the Order of Operations is an
important tool for managers to use in the field of marketing
and business. Using the Order of Operations model as a
tool to predict the proper amount of supplies needed to
operate a business is crucial to the success of a business.
The proper application of this concept can help a manager
evaluate the staffing needs of the business as well as the
supply needs of the business that manufactures products for
resale.
Example:
A concession vendor at Coca Cola Park® needs to know
how much bottled water to order for Saturday’s home game.
The weather forecast for Saturday’s game is a high
temperature of 80 degrees. The park presold 2000 tickets.
Calculate the number of bottles of water to order. The
prediction formula for this scenario is:
w = (.1(a – 65))2 x 1.05b + 500
a = Predicted High Temp
b = Presold Tickets
w = number of bottles of water to order
Solution:
First, substitute in the given information:
a = 80
b = 2000
w = (.1(80 – 65))2 x 1.05(2000) +500
Next, solve the problem using the order of operations:
w = (.1(15))2 x 2100 + 500
w = (1.5)2 x 2100 + 500
w = 2.25 x 2100 + 500
w = 4725 + 500
w = 5225
If the temperature is predicted to be 80 degrees and the
presold ticket amount is 2000, the concession vendor should
order 5225 bottles of water for the game on Saturday.
Formulas and Procedures:
P
Do all operations in PARENTHESIS. Start with the
innermost set.
E
Evaluate all EXPONENTS.
M
Do MULTIPLICATION and DIVISION in order
from left to right.
D
A
Do ADDITION and SUBTRACTION in order from
left to right.
S
One way to remember the order of operations is:
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.
Remembering that my and dear go together since they both describe
Aunt Sally who is one person.
