Let's solve this step-by-step using algebraic reasoning. We'll assign variables to each icon:
- Let
D = Donut
- Let
W = Watermelon slice
- Let
P = Popsicle
- Let
I = Ice cream cone
We are given the following equations:
---
Equation 1:
D = W + W + P
→ D = 2W + P → (1)
---
Equation 2:
26 - D = I
→ I = 26 - D → (2)
---
Equation 3:
I + I = 2
→ 2I = 2 → I = 1 → (3)
---
Now substitute I = 1 into Equation (2):
From (2):
I = 26 - D
1 = 26 - D
→ D = 26 - 1 =
25
So,
D = 25
---
Now use Equation (1):
D = 2W + P
25 = 2W + P → (4)
---
Equation 4:
W + W = I + 9
→ 2W = I + 9
But we know I = 1, so:
2W = 1 + 9 = 10
→ W = 5
So,
W = 5
---
Now plug W = 5 into Equation (4):
25 = 2(5) + P
25 = 10 + P
→ P = 15
So,
P = 15
---
Now we have:
- D = 25
- W = 5
- P = 15
- I = 1
---
Final Question:
W + P + D = ?
Substitute values:
5 + 15 + 25 =
45
---
✔ Answer: 45
---
Summary of Values:
- Watermelon (W) = 5
- Popsicle (P) = 15
- Donut (D) = 25
- Ice cream (I) = 1
And the final sum:
5 + 15 + 25 = 45
✔ Answer: 45
