  1. You have to manually place multiplication operators. There is no bracket multiplication.

    25(1.3(te... should be 25 * (1.3 * (te...

  2. Converting strings to numbers would be a good idea.

    txtStr.Text to Double.Parse(txtStr.Text)

Your syntax is wrong. The compiler thinks that you are trying to call a method due to the opening parentheses when you do this

I'm not sure what you are actually trying to accomplish with that, but it doesn't make sense. I would suggest spending some more time learning the basics.

You need to put the asterisk symbol for multiplication.
