-12/3/4
I can't tell whether that means %28%28-12%29%2F3%29%2F4 or %28-12%29%2F%283%2F4%29

If it means 

%28%28-12%29%2F3%29%2F4 then we do the top part %28-12%29%2F3 and get -4. Then we have

 %28-4%29%2F4 and the answer is 

-1

However, if it means %28-12%29%2F%283%2F4%29 then we make it into a division

-12 ÷ 3%2F4 and then invert the second and multiply

-12 × 4%2F3 and the answer is

-16
