Assuming you mean A @ B = A/B + A*B

(So A is what's on the left of the @, B is what's on the Right.

Just do the substitution. First do the one in ()'s because of order of operations.

4 @ 2 = (4/2 + 4*2)
So 20 @ (4 @ 2) = 20 @ (4/2 + 4*2)

It will be easier to simplify what's in ()'s now.
20 @ (4 @ 2) = 20 @ (2 + 8)
20 @ (4 @ 2) = 20 @ (10)

Now you just substitute again:
20 @ (4 @ 2) = 20/10 + 20*10

You can finish that up on your own.

A@B = A/B + A*B
20@(4@2)

let's do the 4@2 first

4/2 + 4*2 = 2 + 8 = 10
so
20@10
20/10 + 20*2=42
