(18 x 12 - 16) / 8 x 5 - 25

Working with what you have literally written, we have

(216 - 16)/8  x 5 - 25  =

200/8 x 5 - 25 =

25 x 5 - 25 =

125 - 25 =

100

The order in arithmetics is 1. multiply (*) and divide (/), 2. add (+) and subtract (-).

8*5 - 25 First you multiply

40 - 25  Then you subtract

15
