91

Step-by-step explanation:
(27-(1-5)^3)/(2*8-15)
\begin{gathered} 1-5\text{ = -4} \\ =(27-(-4)^3)/(16-15) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} (-4)^3=-4*-4*-4\text{ = -64} \\ =(27-(-64))/(1) \end{gathered}

Multiplication of same sign gives positive number. Multiplication of opposite signs give negative number.


\begin{gathered} =(27+64)/(1) \\ =(91)/(1) \\ =\text{ 91} \end{gathered}
