Sneaker worth 5
Man worth 5
1 cone worth 2
5+5×2=15
Multiply before adding.

6 bars = 30
2 bars, 2 boys = 20
2 ice, 1 boy = 13
1 bar, 1 boy holding 2 ice,(times) 1 ice= 72

I didn't see boy was holding ice cream.
Boy holding 2 cones =9
9×2+5=23

is it
23 5+ (9 x 2)
you really need parentheses is this equation
is it
23 5+ (9 x 2)

When no parentheses, always multiply first.

OK, I changed my mind. Here is what I come up with:
2 shoes = 10 therefore 1 shoe =5
Boy = 5
2 bouquets = 4 therefore 1 bouquet = 2
Final formula is:
1 shoe + (boy holding 2 bouquets and wearing 2 shoes) X 1 bouquet which would numerically be 5 + (5+4+10) X 2 or 5+19X2. Using the MDAS method of solving that would then be 5+38=43 (final answer).
2 shoes = 10 therefore 1 shoe =5
Boy = 5
2 bouquets = 4 therefore 1 bouquet = 2

1 shoe + (boy holding 2 bouquets and wearing 2 shoes) X 1 bouquet which would numerically be 5 + (5+4+10) X 2 or 5+19X2. Using the MDAS method of solving that would then be 5+38=43 (final answer).
We have a winner! 43

PEMDAS means Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply... Since there are no parentheses or exponents, go right on to the multiply.
