If you type those numbers into the calculator, you'll discover that the first one is the only one that adds up to 152, therefore the first one is the right answer

Answer 1 = (12x12) + 8 = 144 + 8 = 152
Answer 2 = (8 x 12) + (3 x 8) = 96 + 24 = 120
Answer 3 = (10 x 12) + (2 x 8) = 120 +16 = 136
Correct Answer is Answer 1.

No 1 is correct because 12x12=144 and 1x8=8 for a total of 152
