-16(15/5)+20/4(5)
I am reading this as :
+%28-16%29%2815%2F5%29+%2B+%2820%2F4%29%285%29+
First reduce the fractions
+-16%283%29+%2B+5%285%29+
Multiply
+-48+%2B+25+
Add
+-23+

Now ... if the expression is actually :
+%28-16%29%2815%2F5%29+%2B+20%2F%28%284%29%285%29%29+
Multiply the denominator on the second fraction first
+%28-16%29%2815%2F5%29+%2B+20%2F20+
Reduce the fractions
+-16%283%29+%2B+1+
Multiply
+-48+%2B+1+
Add
+-47+
