The problem is to prioritise addition over subtraction and multiplication over division rather than assigning them equal priorities and evaluating the expression left-to-right. In German, there is no ‘PEMDAS’ but only ‘Punkt vor Strich’ (‘Dots before dashes’?), i.e. multiplication/division (·,:) before addition/subtraction (+,-). Parentheses obviously still take precedence.
