I'll have to change my answer to 35 as I really didn't look close enough.

15. table = 4, rolls of paper = 6; rolls + table + 5 + 15
6 rolls of paper = 6
4 rolls of paper = 4
3 legs for the table not 4
Multiplication and division, in order, before addition and subtraction in order.
4+3x5=?
4+(3x5)=?
4+15=19

oops, been too long since I've been in math class. Multiplication comes first, so it is 19. This is totally embarrassing.
