PEMDAS --> 40 + 40 * 0 + 1 = 40 + 40(0) + 1 = 41
This isn't a matter of 'different opinions'. It's basic arithmetic.

This is circulating on facebook. There are different opinions about this
Is the result = 0
= 1
= 41
Or = 81
---------------
PEMDAS = Order of Operation
(),^,x,/,+,-
-------------------
So...No () and no ^ so next is x
(40*0) = 0
------------------
Next is +
40+0+1 = 41

I have seen some calculations, where you can doubt, because they have been written in a rather twisted way, where you need to keep a good grip on the framework to remember the operator precedence. But this? It's 4th grade maths.
