The preceding example demonstrates how the hp 12c calculates just as you would
using pencil and paper (except a lot faster!):
Let's see this happening in a different type of calculation — one that involves
multiplying groups of two numbers and then adding the results. (This is the type of
calculation that would be required to total up an invoice consisting of several items
with different quantities and different prices.)
For example, consider the calculation of (3 × 4) + (5 × 6). If you were doing this
on paper, you would first do the multiplication in the first parentheses, then the
multiplication in the second parentheses, and finally add the results of the two
multiplications:
