Hi

As you have written the formula in your subject line, the answer will be
992, since multiplication takes precedence over subtraction.
i.e 1000-(200*4%) = 1000-(8) =992

I suspect that what you are really wanting, is to add 4% to the value
obtained after subtracting 800 from 1000 i.e.
(1000-200) = 800, 800*4% =32, 800+32 = 832
if so then use
(1000-200)*(1+4%)

Without the inclusion of the 1 within the second set of parentheses, you
would just get the result of 32, i.e 800*4%
The addition of the 1, is the same as multiply the answer by 104%, in
other words raise the value by 4%
