It could be 53 or 125, depending of the sense of the question:

(30/2)x5-10+60 = 15x5-10+60 = 75+50 = 125

or

30/(2x5)-10+60 = 30/10-10+60 = 3+50 = 53

it would be 125, 2x5 was not in parenthises in the problem, therefore you go right across the board with multiplication and division, atleast how I was tought, some were taught PEMDAS which I was but I was also taught that division can come before multiplication and same with adding and subracting.

I also think it's 125 but I meant that people could have mixed it up. I just saw that I forgot to write it when I read your post.
