Consider “Divide 40 by half”.
This could be the case of word omission:
“Divide 40 by [one] half”.
Or, omission of a whole clause,
“Divide 40 by half [of itself]”
Or, it could be irregular use of prepositions, where the intent was,
“Divide 40 in half”.
So, what is it?
40124012
40204020
or
402402
We have to ask.
The next thing to realize is that this order of operations trick question genre is tiresome. There is not supposed to be anything arcane and gotcha about arithmetic. Ambiguity is looked down upon and aggressively eliminated by real mathematicians.
Verbal narrative of mathematical operations are only logically given in the order that they will be consumed by the person following the steps. The only rational order of operations is the verbal sequence. The only possible exceptions might be an exponent, as in “[some values and operations]. . . times 3 cubed”, or if words are added, as in,“. . . divided by the result of this expression: [values and operations following.]”
If someone was relaying an expression without regard for the order of execution, then the description would be more descriptive, as if someone was trying to get another to write a complicated expression base on the word description given by another. Example: “The expression, overall, is one big fraction with a complicated formula in the numerator, and another in the denominator. The denominator is a term inside a square root. This is the expression in that square root. Are you ready? ...”
So, our answer will be among:
(((4012)+12)⋅18)=11.5(((4012)+12)⋅18)=11.5
(((4020)+12)⋅18=1.75(((4020)+12)⋅18=1.75
and
(((402)+12)⋅18)=4

Answer:
p/4+12=32
p/4=32-12
p/4=20
p=20×4
p=80
