Let me assume the symbol that you have given in the document is % (since that symbol does not appear on the keyboard). a % b indicates -> the remainder when a is divided by b.
((98 % 33) % 17) - (98 % (33 % 17))
Now we need to use BODMAS method to solve this. First compute the inner expression:
98 % 33 = 32 (since remainder when 98 is divided by 33 is equal to 32).
Thus, we have:
(32 % 17) - (98 % (33 % 17))
Now lests compute the inner expression (33 % 17):
(33 % 17) = 16 (remainder when 33 is divided by 17)
Now we have:
(32 % 17) - (98 % 16)
= 15 - 2 = 13
Hope that Helps !

98@(33@17)=98@16=2
15-2=13
