#138#

Explanation:

Order of operations:
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

First parentheses:

#(4+4^2)# is the only statement in parentheses

In here we do exponents:

#4+16#

Then addition:

#20#

So back to our original problem:

#8+100+10+20#

The only operation left is addition, so add them up:

#108+10+20=118+20=138#
