D. 25

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The value of the expression is 17.

Step 1. Given expression.

$27÷3+\left(12-4\right)$

Step 2. Solve the expression.

In order to solve the expression first simplify the operation inside the small brackets, as

$\begin{array}{c}27÷3+\left(12-4\right)=27÷3+\left(8\right)\\ =27÷3+8\end{array}$

Now note that division/multiplication is given priority, thus above is further simplified as:

$\begin{array}{c}27÷3+8=9+8\\ =17\end{array}$

Thus,

$27÷3+\left(12-4\right)=17$
