if you go by each figure from the left
it's 40 + 40 = 80
80 x 0 = 80
80 + 1 = 81
but, i'd wager theres some stoopid hidden equation

I got 41 so it cant be 41 because I suck at maths

80 times nuthin' is nuthin'
plus 1 = 1

imastawka is right.
when you multiply 80 by nothing it equals nothing so the answer is 1

You have to do the multiplication first. So the sum becomes.
40 + (40x0) + 1 = ?
40 x 0 = 0
40 + 0 + 1 = 41
