Alan and Ashly from Mr. Gutierrez's fifth grade class used the order of operations to solve this problem. You need to use the order of operations because you might get a wrong answer if you solve the problem in an incorrect order (like add first instead of multiply). To remember the order of operations, remember PEDMAS.
