Follow PEMDAS:

Explanation:

Parentheses: We see that there are items inside of parentheses that we have to simplify, so we do that first. #4+32=36#. So our expression is now #(45(36))/10#.
Exponents: None
Multiplication: On the top we multiply #45*36=1620#. Now we have, #1620/10#.
Division: Now we divide #1620/10=162#.
Addition: None
Subtraction: None

We see that there is no addition or subtraction to do, and we are left with a single number; therefore, our answer is 162.
