Answer:
100
Explanation:
start with what's in the parenthesis':
8 (9.75 - 3.25) + 12 x 4 = 8 (6.50) + 12 x 4
then take the number outside of the parenthesis' time the number inside of them:
8 (6.50) + 12 x 4 = 52 + 12 x 4
now, take the product of the two number on the right side of the addition sign:
52 + 12 x 4 = 52 + 48
finally, add the final two numbers together:
52 + 48 = 100
