In order to solve this we will have to apply PEMDAS rule which is as follows:

P

Parentheses first

E

Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)

MD

Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)

AS

Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

7+8(3.2.2)

Step 1:

Here we will solve the parenthesis first :

multiplying 3.2.2 =12

so we have 7+8(12)

Step 2:

now we multiply 12*8 here

12*8=96

7+96

Step 3:

addition of 7 and 96 gives us 103

Answer : 7+8(3.2.2) = 103
