If you express it as (40 + 40) x (0 + 1) then the answer is 80
If you express it as 40 + (40 x 0) + 1 then the answer is 41

Take a look at what has already been posted. The order of operation is not missing and it is implied when there are no parentheses.
Rule 1: First perform any calculations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Lastly, perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.
