iOS Swift Basics Swift Operators Working With Operators

Really stuck on this Comparison Operators questions please help. Part 2 of the task is written in the description

In this task, we have two math operations. Without computing the values of those operations, we'd like to know if the first operation, someOperation is greater than, equal to or less than anotherOperation.

Use the greater than or equal to operator and assign the Boolean result of the comparison to a constant named isGreater.

Please show me what this looks like.

operators.swift 
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5

let someOperation: Bool = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation: Bool = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5

// Task 1 - Enter your code below
let result = value % divisor 
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0 

let isGreater = someOperation >= anotherOperation

You are not at fault; the question says " Use the greater than or equal to operator." The answer is only correct using the ">" operator tho.

let isGreater = someOperation > anotherOperation

let someOperation: Bool = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15

Hello, was reading this challenge and was trying to figure out (20+400%10/2-15 why is configured as 20+400? 400%10? 10/2? 10/2-15?
