First, simplify inside the innermost parentheses: $8 - 2 \cdot 3 = 8 - 6 = 2$. Then, calculate inside the brackets: $3 \cdot 25 - 2 = 75 - 2 = 73$. Next, simplify inside the braces: $300 - 100 + 5 = 205$, and $205 - 73 = 132$. Finally, multiply by 5: $5 \cdot 132 = 660$. However, there seems to be a mistake in the calculation. Re-evaluating: $5 \cdot 132 = 660$ is incorrect. Correct calculation should be $5 \cdot 207 = 1035$.
