A pair of shoes is 10, so a single shoe is 5

The dude is 5, plus two cones at 2 each is 9

One cone is 2

5 + 9 x 2 = 23 (order of operations)

yco · 04-05-2020, 08:38 PM

Pair of shoes is 10, so one shoe is 5.
Boy is 5.
2 cones are 4 so 1 cone is 2.

So:

Pair of shoes + ((Boy wearing shoes and holding cones) x cone)

5 + ((5+10+4) x 2j

5 + (19 x 2)

5 + 38 = 43

(I missed him wearing the shoes when it was sent to me.)
