Answer :
Answer: B. 33.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you'll do is add 12 + 4 since it is in parentheses. So now it is 8.5 + (16x2) -7
Now you would multiply 16 by 2, equaling 32.
After that, you would add the 8.5 to 32, getting 40.5
After this, you would subtract 7 from 40.5, getting the answer, 33.5.
