Why is 1+1+3×10 not 50 but 32

I understand the orders of operation PEMDAS totally, but why does that apply to 
1+1+3×10?

Andrew M.

If you understood PEMDAS, and how to use it, this question would not be posted here at all. By PEMDAS multiplication is done BEFORE addition and subtraction so:
 
1 + 1 + 3 x 10 = 1 + 1 + 30 = 32
