The Solution for Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally!

For those of you who took the "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" challenge, here is the solution!  Know that your kids will need to know this, so pay close attention :)

Evaluate  8 + (2 x 5) x 34 ÷ 9 

8 + (2 x 5) x 34 ÷ 9 = 8 + 10 x 34 ÷ 9
8 + 10 x 34 ÷ 9 = 8 + 10 x 81 ÷ 9
8 + 10 x 81 ÷ 9 = 8 + 810 ÷ 9
8 + 810 ÷ 9 = 8 + 90
8 + 90 = 98
