Yes its 21444

You do:

1. 728 x 28 = 20384

2. 2000 - 1000 = 1000

3. 20384 + 1060 = 20444

2000 - 1000 + 728 x 28 + 60 =?


In americas we use
P Perenthesis
E Exponents
M Multipication
D Division
A Addition
S Subtraction

So I would
2000 - 1000 + 728 x 28 + 60 =?

728 x 28 = 20384

So then you have
2000 - 1000 + 20384 + 60

Then yoyu do

1000 + 20384 + 60 = 20544

Then

2000 - 20544 = -18544

Your computer calculator will do it wrong as it would just work in the order e.g.

If it was 9 - 9 x 4

it would do 9-9 = 0 x 4 = 0

Instead of 9x4 = 36

9-36 = -27
