If I am understanding the question correctly, this appears to be testing your order of operations skills, which follow the acronym PEMDAS: parentheses, then exponents, then multiplication or division, then addition or subtraction.
8 * 115 * 1 / 100 + 9 * 1000 / 100
- First we can do the multiplication
- 920/100 + 9000/100
- Then we can do the division. In this case we are dividing by 100, so we can just move back the decimal place twice as a shortcut instead of using a calculator
- 9.2 + 90
- Then we can add
- 9.2 + 90 = 99.2
So there we have it. Our final answer would be 99.2!
