Problem

Evaluate the expression 13 + 14 * (15 * 2 / 3)

Answer

153

Step-by-step solution

Following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), first calculate inside the parentheses: $15 \times 2 \div 3 = 30 \div 3 = 10$. Then, perform multiplication: $14 \times 10 = 140$. Finally, perform addition: $13 + 140 = 153$.
