    Original solution was



    But that uses 5 twice (bolded)

    If you do this
    (3x(100+2)) = 306
    50 ÷5 = 10
    306+ (25 - 10) = 321

    you get there.

    Thanks that's actually what I'd done in my mind. Just typed that other one by accident

    Closest I can get is 445, is 444 possible?

    ((5*3)*25)= 375
    ((2+8)*7)= 70

    375+70 =445
