To solve this problem, we need to determine the values of the symbols (spider, cauldron, and ghost) based on the given equations and then use those values to solve the final equation.

Step 1: Assign Variables


Let:
- Spider = \( S \)
- Cauldron = \( C \)
- Ghost = \( G \)

Step 2: Analyze the Equations



#### Equation 1:
\[ S + S + S = 24 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 3S = 24 \]
Solving for \( S \):
\[ S = \frac{24}{3} = 8 \]

#### Equation 2:
\[ C + C + S = 18 \]
Substitute \( S = 8 \):
\[ C + C + 8 = 18 \]
\[ 2C + 8 = 18 \]
Solving for \( C \):
\[ 2C = 18 - 8 \]
\[ 2C = 10 \]
\[ C = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \]

#### Equation 3:
\[ C + G + G = 11 \]
Substitute \( C = 5 \):
\[ 5 + G + G = 11 \]
\[ 5 + 2G = 11 \]
Solving for \( G \):
\[ 2G = 11 - 5 \]
\[ 2G = 6 \]
\[ G = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \]

Step 3: Solve the Final Equation


The final equation is:
\[ G + C + C \times S = ? \]

Substitute the values we found:
\[ G = 3, \quad C = 5, \quad S = 8 \]

So the equation becomes:
\[ 3 + 5 + 5 \times 8 = ? \]

Step 4: Apply the Order of Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS)


First, perform the multiplication:
\[ 5 \times 8 = 40 \]

Then, perform the addition:
\[ 3 + 5 + 40 = 48 \]

Final Answer:


\[ \boxed{48} \]
