You're going to have to try and write that more clearly or post an image showing the question.

Could you maybe post a photo of the equation? It's very unclear as it is written at the moment.

This just means you do (76.5-22)/55 all to the power of 1.3

76.5-22 = 54.5
54.5/55 = 0.9909090909090
0.9909090909090^1.3=0.988

If you still need help entering it into your calculator after reading jordan97's post, can you tell me the make of your calculator?
