Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Answer to Komodo Maths Halloween puzzle
Let's solve this step by step using the image-based math puzzle. We have symbols representing:

- A witch (green creature with a broom)
- A pumpkin
- A bat (grouped in pairs)

We need to find the value of each symbol and then compute the final expression.

---

Step 1: First equation


```
Witch + Witch + Witch = 30
```

So:
$$
3 \times \text{Witch} = 30 \Rightarrow \text{Witch} = 10
$$

Witch = 10

---

Step 2: Second equation


```
Witch + Pumpkin + Pumpkin = 20
```

We know Witch = 10, so:
$$
10 + 2 \times \text{Pumpkin} = 20
\Rightarrow 2 \times \text{Pumpkin} = 10
\Rightarrow \text{Pumpkin} = 5
$$

Pumpkin = 5

---

Step 3: Third equation


```
Pumpkin + Bats + Bats = 9
```

We know Pumpkin = 5, so:
$$
5 + 2 \times \text{Bats} = 9
\Rightarrow 2 \times \text{Bats} = 4
\Rightarrow \text{Bats} = 2
$$

Wait — here, "Bats" is shown as two bats together. So the symbol "Bats" represents a pair of bats, which equals 2.

So:
Two bats = 2 → Therefore, One bat = 1

But we must be careful: In the equation, it's two groups of two bats? Let’s look again.

Actually, the third equation shows:
```
Pumpkin + [two bats] + [two bats] = 9
```

So it's:
$$
5 + 2 + 2 = 9
$$

Yes, that works.

So:
Two bats = 2 → So each group of two bats = 2

Therefore, one bat = 1, but when used as a symbol, if a single bat appears, its value is 1.

But let's check the final equation.

Step 4: Final equation


```
Pumpkin + Bat × Witch = ?
```

Now, from above:
- Pumpkin = 5
- Bat = ? → But in previous equations, "bat" was shown as two bats = 2 → so one bat = 1
- Witch = 10

So:
$$
5 + (1 \times 10) = 5 + 10 = 15
$$

But wait! Order of operations matters: multiplication before addition.

So:
$$
\text{Pumpkin} + (\text{Bat} \times \text{Witch}) = 5 + (1 \times 10) = 5 + 10 = 15
$$

Answer: 15

---

Final Answer:


$$
\boxed{15}
$$

---

Summary:


- Witch = 10
- Pumpkin = 5
- Two bats = 2 → One bat = 1
- Final: $ 5 + (1 \times 10) = 15 $

Answer: 15
