Answer:

12 + 5(3) = t

12 + 15 = t

27 = t

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS is the order of operations and states in what order to perform each operation.

Mr. McNeil's dinner is a pizza for 12 and 5 calzones at $3 each or 5(3).

Add the orders together and his equation is 12 + 5(3).

PEMDAS states to multiply before adding.

Multiply 5(3) = 15

Add 12 + 15 = 27

He spent $27.
