Given:

Expression: [{(82 + 48 ÷ 8 × 3) + 5 × 6 } − 7.5 × 2]

Concept:

Order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS): Brackets, Orders (i.e., powers and square roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.

Calculation:

⇒ Simplify inside the innermost brackets first.

⇒ 48 ÷ 8 = 6

⇒ 6 × 3 = 18

⇒ 82 + 18 = 100

⇒ 5 × 6 = 30

⇒ (100 + 30) = 130

⇒ 7.5 × 2 = 15

⇒ 130 − 15 = 115

∴ The value of the expression is 115.
