Let’s solve the first puzzle step by step.

We have:

1. 🏠 + 🏠 + 🏠 + 🏠 = 16
→ That means 4 houses = 16
→ So, one house = 16 ÷ 4 = 4

2. 🏠 + 🐢 = 12
→ We know 🏠 = 4, so 4 + 🐢 = 12
→ 🐢 = 12 - 4 = 8

3. 🐢 + 🐘 = 11
→ We know 🐢 = 8, so 8 + 🐘 = 11
→ 🐘 = 11 - 8 = 3

Now, the last equation:
🏠 + 🐢 + 🏠 × 🐘 = ?

Remember order of operations: multiplication comes before addition.

So:
= 4 + 8 + (4 × 3)
= 4 + 8 + 12
= 24

✔ First puzzle answers:
🏠 = 4
🐢 = 8
🐘 = 3
Final box = 24

Now second puzzle:

1. 🍉 + 🍉 + = 18
→ 3 watermelons = 18
→ One watermelon = 18 ÷ 3 = 6

2. 🍉 + 🔔 = 13
→ 6 + 🔔 = 13
→ 🔔 = 13 - 6 = 7

3. 🔔 × = 49
→ 7 × 🍄 = 49
→ 🍄 = 49 ÷ 7 = 7

Last equation:
🍉 + 🔔 × 🍄 = ?

Again, multiplication first:

= 6 + (7 × 7)
= 6 + 49
= 55

✔ Second puzzle answers:
🍉 = 6
🔔 = 7
🍄 = 7
Final box = 55

Final Answer:
First puzzle: 🏠 = 4, 🐢 = 8, 🐘 = 3 → Final answer = 24
Second puzzle: 🍉 = 6, 🔔 = 7, 🍄 = 7 → Final answer = 55
