Mathematical Help

I'm trying to use this formula posted on the UESP to calculate the damage done by a glass longsword(base damage of 20) with a strength of 100 and a blade skill of 50, but the answer doesn't seem right. I got 3.7932375 as my answer, and that can't be right, but could the UESP have an incorrect formula for this or am I doing something incorrectly? Perhaps this calculator isn't working properly. Could someone please plug in those variables and tell me what they get?:

Damage = BaseWeaponDamage * 0.5 * ( 0.75 + Strength * 0.005 ) * ( 0.2 + BladeSkill * 0.015 )

20 * 0.5 * 1.25 * 0.95 = 11.875.

Do everything in brackets first, and remember multiplication gets done before addition.

And to add to the brackets thing, not everything on UESP wiki is correct, It is made by the players.

The answer is 11.875. You're doing the math wrong. Also what Ubooya said.

Thanks. :)

I think I've been away from school for too long.
