First we simplify calculations that are in parentheses. Second, we calculate exponents and roots. Then, we simplify multiplication and division, which are solved on the same level of importance and from left to right. Finally, we calculate addition and subtraction, which are also on the same level of importance, from left to right. Let's now consider our expression.

80 - 4^2 Ă· 8 We first need to calculate the exponent expression. 80-4^2Ă· 8 calculate power âź¶ 80-16Ă· 8 Next, we can calculate the quotient. 80-16Ă· 8 divide âź¶ 80-2 Now we can finish evaluating our expression by subtracting 2 from 80. 80-2 subtract âź¶ 78
