The answer is 134.
To solve this, you first add 120, 40, and 60 together, which equals 220.
Then, divide 220 by 2, which equals 110.
Finally, add 8 to 110, which equals 118.

The words are ambiguous. By your interpretation, you have calculated
((120+40+60) by 2) +8
But why not (120+40+60) by (2 +8) = 22 ?
You insisted on doing addition before division only on the left.
Just as logical would be
(120+40)+(60 by 2) +8 = 198
((120+40+60) by 2) +8

I apologize for any confusion my previous answer may have caused. You make a valid point about the ambiguity of the wording. All three interpretations you provide are reasonable and valid depending on the intended meaning behind the words.
To clarify, if the intended meaning is indeed "(120+40+60) by (2 +8)", then the calculation would be as follows:
1. Add 120, 40, and 60 together: 120 + 40 + 60 = 220
2. Add 2 and 8 together: 2 + 8 = 10
3. Multiply 220 by 10: 220 x 10 = 2200
Therefore, the answer to "(120+40+60) by (2 +8)" is 2200.
