Let’s solve this step by step. We need to find the value of each fruit or item, then add them up for the final answer.

We’ll use letters to make it easier:
- Let P = Peach
- Let W = Watermelon slices
- Let S = Strawberry
- Let I = Ice cream bowl

---

Equation 1:
P + W + P = 21
→ That’s 2P + W = 21 → (Equation A)

Equation 2:
10 = S + 4 + S
→ 10 = 2S + 4
Subtract 4 from both sides:
6 = 2S
Divide by 2:
S = 3

Equation 3:
S + I = 8
We know S = 3, so:
3 + I = 8
I = 5

Equation 4:
14 = P + I
We know I = 5, so:
14 = P + 5
P = 9

Now go back to Equation A:
2P + W = 21
2×9 + W = 21
18 + W = 21
W = 3

---

Now we have all values:
- S = 3
- P = 9
- I = 5
- W = 3

Final equation:
S + P + I + W = ?
→ 3 + 9 + 5 + 3 = ?

Add step by step:
3 + 9 = 12
12 + 5 = 17
17 + 3 = 20

Double-check:
Strawberry (3) + Peach (9) + Ice Cream (5) + Watermelon (3) = 20 — correct!

Final Answer:
20
