Follow PEMDAS which means multiplication first.
Be careful about what is left after you multiply
I got an answer less than 30.

For the answer to be 1, you would need to place parentheses around all of the additions preceding the multiplication, as follows:
(1+1+1+1+11+1+1+1+11+1)×0 + 1= 29×0 + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1
Without the parentheses, you need to do the multiplication 1×0 = 0 first, then do the remaining additions:
1+1+1+1+11+1+1+1+11+(1×0)+1= 1+1+1+1+11+1+1+1+11 + 0 +1 = 30
BTW, did you change the final operation to +, or did I just misread it as x in my answer below?
