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
