In a quotation question, the question mark should be inside the quotation. "Where did Mark go?" asked Zack. Anna replied, "I don't know. Where did he go?"
It does not matter. The statement, as given, cannot be made true using only parentheses.
For example, would it be: "Why do you care if he got the better grade"? (51) or would it be: "Why do you care if he got the better grade" (51)? (I am the poster, I just couldn't fit all the words in the post.
I believe the parentheses eliminate the need for the negative sign. For example: negative $100,000 would be expressed $(100,000). Using the negative sign, it would read: -$100,000.
((5*6+2)+1 There ya go!
After the question mark.
The comma typically goes before the parentheses if it is part of the main sentence. If the parentheses contain a complete sentence, the period or other punctuation mark will typically go inside the parentheses.

no you nerd
A period would go inside parentheses to finish a complete sentence, but you always need sentence-ending punctuation outside of the parentheses.
When taking information from a reference book, what two bits of information must go inside the parentheses
Periods should typically go on the outside of parentheses. However, if the entire sentence is contained within the parentheses, then the period should go inside.
Outside. (But if the entire sentence is a parenthetical like this one, it would go inside.)
there is no question mark
In American English, periods typically go inside parentheses when the parenthetical phrase is a complete sentence. In British English, periods go outside parentheses unless they are part of the parenthetical sentence.
In the United States, the question mark usually goes before the closed quotes. For example: you asked, "Does the question mark go before or after the quotes?" In that case the question mark indicates your statement in quotes is a question. The statements, "for example." and "you asked," are not part of the question. Your punctuation should indicate that. In the rare situation where the entire sentence would be a question, and the last part would be quoted, it would be acceptable to put the question mark after the quotes. If the entire sentence was a quotation, the question mark would go inside the quotes. In American English, the punctuation exists for the benefit of the reader. It should serve to make what you have written more readable and more understandable.
Inside the quotation marks, if the question mark is a part of the title, as in: Is this song "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" Otherwise, outside, as in: Can we stop listening to "The Wheels on the Bus"? Looks strange, but it's the truth.
