The order of operations is an acronym that helps the solver with trying to solve a question. Order of operations is usually known as "PEMDAS", which stands for:

Parenthesis: The first step you take, generally, there are two types of "parenthesis" you may see, Parenthesis "(" ")", and Brackets "[" "]". Brackets are rarely used unless you need a parenthesis within a parenthesis.

For example: [10(5 + 18)], in which you first solve the parenthesis: (5 + 18) = (23), and then the brackets: [(10)(23)] = 230

Exponent (& Roots): This is the next step you take. You solve any exponents (numbers with powers, for example: 15² or 18^2).

An example can be seen in (3)² + 8, in which you solve the exponent, and then the addition: 3² = 9; 9 + 8 = 17

Multiplication: The third step, in which you solve the multiplications inside the expression. For example: 18(x + 7)

(As you cannot combine a variable and a number), you must continue on to the next step (multiplication). Distribute 18 to all terms within the parenthesis:

18(x + 7) = 18(x) + 18(7) = 18x + 126

Division: The fourth step, (however, it is interchangeable with multiplication. Remember that you should follow the left -> right rule after Parenthesis & Exponents). For example: (x + 12)/12

Distribute "divide by 12" to all terms within the parenthesis: (x + 12)/12 = x/12 + 12/12. Simplify. x/12 + 12/12 = x/12 + 1

Addition: The second to last step, in which you combine any like terms that you can (still following the left -> right rule).

Subtraction: The last step, in which you combine any like terms that you can (still following the left -> right rule).

For example:

5 - 2 * 3 + 9

In the following order of operation, we see 3 operations: Subtract, Multiply, and Add. Remembering PEMDAS, we will solve this question.

First, multiply: 2 * 3 = 6

Next, following the left -> right rule, we will subtract: 5 - 6 = -1

Finally, add: -1 + 9 = 8

8 would be the answer for this example.

Carla was trying to decide what to do saturday evening. she has $100 available to spend for the evening. she has narrowed her choices down to these events: braves game, a concert of an artist she likes, or the georgia aquarium. admission to the braves game is $25, hot dogs cost $10, sodas cost $5. the concert costs $25 for admission, $20 for a souvernir t-shirt, and $10 for a soda. the georgia aquarium has the show of a lifetime with an all you can eat and drink that costs $100. carla does not want to take any driving chances, so in addition to the cost of the aquarium, she will also need to pay for her uber/lyft, which is $15 each way. which option should carla choose if she wants to spend the least? based on that choice, what then is carla's oppotunity cost? fully explain your answer in at least one paragraph.
