The value of one candy cane is 5, a wine glass is 1, and a snowflake is 15. So, 5 + 1 x 10 = 15.
Follow the MDAS (Multiplication, Division, Addition & Subtraction) rule. Multiply 1 by 10 first before adding 5 to get 15.
Wow, that was confusing! The equations provided showed two wine glasses and only involved addition. But were you able to get the correct answer?
