    5 + 5 + 5 = 15 
    3 + 3 + 5 = 11 
    5 + 3 x 5 = 20 

    (Not, as some people might think, 40).

    5 + 3 x 5 = 20.  

    You do the multiplying first.  So, you do 3 x 5 first (15).  Then you do the addition.  5 + 15.  20.

    Quite a common question on social media, pops up in different scenarios every few months.

    majority of people will say 40.
    correct answer is 20.

    Usually followed by lots of people insisting its 40

    Anyone who does a lot of excel work will tell you it's 20, which it is.

    Boy + shoes + double whatever that is in the newspaper. Although technically I'd argue that it's unanswerable, as we can only calculate the value of the pair of shoes. The value of each individual shoe is undefined.
