First, multiplication, division and modulo all have higher precedence than addition. The next rule to apply would be that operator precedence proceeds from left to right.

This expression could have been written as: (8*7) + (8%5) + (6/2).

8%5 would be 3 since the remainder of 8/5 is 3.
The answer for the expressions is 62
