40 + 40 = 80

x 0 = 0

0 + 1 = 1

the answer is 1.

You do the multiplication first so it becomes 40 + (40 x 0) + 1 = 41.

If it's 41 there should be brackets in there surely?

EDIT: Just seen James has done that above, which wasn't how the question was phrased.

Doesn't matter how it was phrased though, see the link above, if there are no brackets, multiplication is done first.

Do it on a calculator exactly as written, it's 1. I don't care about this or that or assumptions.

It's not an assumption, a proper calculator would give 41.
