Just write the expression in the order you learn the facts:
<u>Adam has $450</u>: 450
<u>He spends $210</u>: 450-210
<u>he divides all the money into four parts and one part he keeps</u>: (450-210)/4
Here you need the parentheses, because 450-210/4 means that only the 210 is divided into 4 parts.
<u>he found $20</u>: (450-210)/4+20
(450-210)/4 + 20
Now, to evaluate that, you do need to know the order of operation. Oddly enough, you do them in the same order you wrote them down...

It’s 60 because PEMDAS so inside the parentheses always go first
