Let's solve this step by step.

We are given 5 equations with symbols. Let’s assign variables to each symbol to make it easier:

- Let C = Coin (the circular symbol with a diamond in the center)
- Let S = Sunglasses (the mustache + glasses symbol)
- Let L = Lemon slice
- Let D = Diamond

---

Step 1: Use the third equation


> D = L

So, the diamond and lemon slice have the same value. We’ll use this substitution.

---

Step 2: Use the fourth equation


> D - 50 = S

Substitute D for L (from Step 1), so:
> S = D - 50

---

Step 3: Use the second equation


> 270 = L + L + D

But since L = D, substitute:
> 270 = D + D + D
> 270 = 3D
> D = 90

Now we can find L and S:

- L = D = 90
- S = D - 50 = 90 - 50 = 40

---

Step 4: Use the first equation


> C + S + C = 240

That is: 2C + S = 240

We know S = 40, so:
> 2C + 40 = 240
> 2C = 200
> C = 100

---

Step 5: Solve the final expression


> C + S × L + D = ?

Remember order of operations: multiplication before addition.

So:
> C + (S × L) + D
> = 100 + (40 × 90) + 90
> = 100 + 3600 + 90
> = 3790

---

Final Answer: 3790



---

Summary of symbol values:


- Coin (C) = 100
- Sunglasses (S) = 40
- Lemon (L) = 90
- Diamond (D) = 90

And the final expression evaluates to 3790.
