Introduction
PANCAKE MAKERS
You are a co-owner of a pancake breakfast shop and today is an ordinary busy day except for the fact that the orders are coming in kind of strange and because the staff is so busy you have been called upon to dissect the orders with your prestigious math skills and distribute them to your employees to cook and ring up the pancake orders.
Task
Your task is to recieve the six orders and first identify the mathematical property and then solve the math problem in order to get the right total cost for the order to charge the customer and send the order to the cooks to tell them how many of what size pancakes that you are having them cook on that ticket order.
Process
Pancake pricing
small=$3
medium=$5

First order-- Two people would like to make an order of three medium pancakes and five small pancakes. They are two seperate orders. Identify the property and solve for each of the seperate orders.
Second order-- There are two orders of on the same ticket of five small pancakes. All on the same order ticket. Identify the property and solve the order for the total.
Third order-- A man orders five of the large pancakes, and while your processing his order is wants to add two more to the order. Identify the property and solve for the total of the order.

Fifth order-- Two orders on the same ticket of seven medium pancakes. All on the same order ticket. Identify the property and solve the order of the total.
Sixth and final order-- Someone is on the phone making an order for someone else and can barely hear them they start by saying to make an order for five small pancakes and goes to the restroom and comes back to say they would like to order three more in addition on the same order ticket.
