Let’s solve each puzzle step by step.

Left Puzzle (Fruits):
We have:
1. 🍉 + 🍉 = 16
→ So, one watermelon slice group = 16 ÷ 2 =
8
2. 🥝 + 🍉 = 18
→ We know 🍉 = 8, so = 18 - 8 =
10
3. 🥝 + 🍐 = 15
→ We know 🥝 = 10, so = 15 - 10 =
5
4. 🍉 + = ?
→ 8 + 5 =
13
✔ Left puzzle answer:
13

Right Puzzle (Ice Cream & Treats):
We have:
1. 🍫 × 🍫 = 36
→ What number times itself is 36? → 6 × 6 = 36 → So 🍫 =
6
2. 🍦🍦 + = 36
→ 🍫 = 6, so 🍦🍦 = 36 - 6 =
30
Wait — look at the icon: it’s a double popsicle (two sticks). Let’s call that “P” for now.
So P + 6 = 36 → P = 30
But in the next equation:
3. 🍦🍦 - = 20
→ 30 - = 20 → 🍨 = 30 - 20 =
10
Now check the last one:
4. 🍨🍨 + 🍫 = ?
→ This is TWO ice cream cones (each = 10), so 10 + 10 = 20, plus 🍫 = 6 → 20 + 6 =
26
Wait — let’s double-check the icons.
In equation 2: it’s a *double popsicle* (two pink popsicles on two sticks) + chocolate bar = 36 → we got double popsicle = 30.
In equation 3: same double popsicle minus single ice cream cone = 20 → 30 - 10 = 20 → correct.
In equation 4: it’s *two single ice cream cones* (not double!) + chocolate bar.
Each single ice cream cone = 10 → two of them = 20 → plus chocolate bar (6) = 26.
✔ Right puzzle answer:
26
