Let’s solve this step by step.
We have 5 equations with food icons and numbers. We need to find the value of each icon, then use those values to solve the last equation.
Let’s assign variables to make it easier:
- Let
B = Burger
- Let
P = Pizza slice
- Let
I = Ice cream cone
- Let
D = Donut
Now rewrite the equations:
---
Equation 1:
B + P = I + 1
Equation 2:
D + B + D = P → which is 2D + B = P
Equation 3:
0 = D × I → So either D = 0 or I = 0 (or both)
Equation 4:
I - 3 = 2 → So I = 5
Wait — if I = 5, then from Equation 3:
0 = D × 5 → That means D must be 0.
So now we know:
→
I = 5
→
D = 0
Now plug into Equation 2:
2D + B = P → 2(0) + B = P →
B = P
Now go to Equation 1:
B + P = I + 1 → But since B = P, that becomes:
B + B = 5 + 1 → 2B = 6 →
B = 3
Then since B = P,
P = 3
So now we have all values:
- Burger (B) = 3
- Pizza (P) = 3
- Ice cream (I) = 5
- Donut (D) = 0
Now solve the final equation:
B × P + I = ?
Plug in the numbers:
3 × 3 + 5 = 9 + 5 =

✔ Double-check:
Equation 1: 3 + 3 = 5 + 1 → 6 = 6 ✔️
Equation 2: 0 + 3 + 0 = 3 → 3 = 3 ✔️
Equation 3: 0 = 0 × 5 → 0 = 0 ✔️
Equation 4: 5 - 3 = 2 → 2 = 2 ✔️
Final: 3 × 3 + 5 = 14 ✔️
Everything checks out.
Final Answer:
14
