Answer 1

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how much birdseed does she have left over

First step

(3*8*6*12) - 4-2*30

Second step

=[24+6*(10+2)] - 4-60

Third step

Let remove the bracket of (10+2)

=[24+6*10+6*2] - 4-60

Fourth step

=(24+60+12) - 4-60

Fifth step

=(84+12)-4-60

Sixth step

=96-4-60

Seventh step

=92-60

=32

Therefore the amount of birdseed that she have left over will be 32
