Twins: 2697
Triplets: 29
Quadruplets: 2
Quintuplets: 1

Order of operations 1.3

Answer 1

Answer:

  5494

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming all members of each set registered, the total number is ...

  2(2697) +3(29) +4(2) +5(1) = 5494

__

Since you're concerned with order of operations, perhaps you want to see the working out.

  = 5394 + 87 +8 +5 . . . . perform all the multiplications

  = 5481 +8 +5 . . . . . . . . . perform addition left to right

  = 5489 +5

  = 5494
