I know what the numbers are and I know what the numbers in parenthesis represent. I just cant find a connection between the first set of numbers. Am I looking for a single common connection? Or do I have to manipulate the first set of numbers somehow? I know the source clue is the key, but just not sure how. Could use a nudge.

I'm hating this level right now. The idea seems clear, I know what I'm supposed to search for, the source hint is obvious... but the numbers on the left are... not precise enough, especially given some fairly conflicting sources that give me different numbers on a few of them.
I tried my best still... I've made a list of six "something"s. But now I don't know what to do with it... seeing as it SHOULD be something very obvious... it seems that my list is... wrong.

I haven't solved this one just yet (heading to bed now), but can anyone confirm that the first number (on the lefthand side) would be a little more precise if it were 1530.87 instead?

Do the numbers in the parentheses first.
The numbers on your left will frustrate you, they'll make your blood boil.
Then when you think you've got what you need, you need to lay them out on a table and listen.

I feel a bit stupid with this one. I think I know the process and I have a nice neat outcome which looks plausible, but have no idea how this relates to what the answer may be.
I know it's already been confirmed that the first number is rounded and should actually have been .87, can somebody confirm if that is the case with the second number too? Because my nice, neat, rounded outcome is not so nice, neat or rounded due to the second number being slightly off.

The second number (and all other numbers) is okay. It's just the first number that has some problem.
I could really do with PMing somebody with what I have just to check that I'm on the right track. I feel like I know what I should be doing but it doesn't lead me anywhere.

My advice for anyone who may get stuck on this one is look at the brackets first, then use this to do the obvious conversion. Then once you have those converted numbers, be careful about which sources you use to decipher your answer from this. Some tables and charts gave me misleading information on the first two numbers.
