Explanation:
Let’s assign letters to each symbol to make it easier:
- Let
C = coin (the circular chip with a diamond in the center)
- Let
M = mustache + sunglasses
- Let
L = lemon slice
- Let
D = diamond
Now translate each equation:
1.
C + M + C = 240
→ 2C + M = 240 …(Equation A)
2.
270 = L + L + D
→ 2L + D = 270 …(Equation B)
3.
D = L
→ Diamond equals one lemon. So substitute D with L in Equation B:
2L + L = 270 → 3L = 270 → L = 90
Then D = L =
90
4.
D − 50 = M
Since D = 90, then M = 90 − 50 =
40
Now go back to Equation A:
2C + M = 240
We know M = 40, so:
2C + 40 = 240
→ 2C = 200
→ C =
100
So far:
- C = 100
- M = 40
- L = 90
- D = 90
Now the final expression:
C + M × L + D = ?
Remember: multiplication before addition (order of operations).
So compute:
M × L = 40 × 90 = 3600
Then: C + 3600 + D = 100 + 3600 + 90 =
3790
Let’s double-check all steps:
- D = L → from given.
- 2L + D = 270 → 2L + L = 3L = 270 → L = 90 ✔️
- D = 90 ✔️
- D − 50 = M → 90 − 50 = 40 ✔️
- 2C + M = 240 → 2C + 40 = 240 → 2C = 200 → C = 100 ✔️
- Final: 100 + (40 × 90) + 90 = 100 + 3600 + 90 = 3790 ✔️
Final Answer:
3790
