There's a lot of people saying 'both are correct because the problem is ambiguous', but when you are faced with an ambiguous problem, you are supposed to refer to the order of operations, which guarantees only one correct answer for a simple evaluation problem like this. Now, I never needed any...

The answer to this problem is on wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations#Mnemonics Basically, all of the acronyms you were taught are stupid and misleading. The answer is 288.
