Henry makes cake deliveries for a local bakery. He charges them a daily fee of $25, plus $5 per delivery. He made 27 deliveries today and is trying to calculate how much they owe him. In order to calculate his pay, the bakery multiplies 25 x 5 and then adds 27. Are they correct?

They are not correct. They would need to multiply 27 by 5 and then add 25

27 x 5 = 135

135 + 25 = 160

They would owe him 160 dollars
