1. **State the problem:** Evaluate the expression $$78 \div [3 \times (8 + 5)]$$.
2. **Apply the order of operations:** First, solve inside the parentheses.
$$8 + 5 = 13$$
3. **Substitute back:**
$$78 \div [3 \times 13]$$
4. **Multiply inside the brackets:**
$$3 \times 13 = 39$$
5. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$78 \div 39$$
6. **Divide:**
$$\frac{\cancel{78}}{\cancel{39}} = 2$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$2$$
