Let’s solve this step by step.
We have 5 equations with symbols:
1. 🎯 + 🧔 + 🎯 = 240
2. 270 = 🍋 + 🍋 + 💎
3. 💎 = 🍋
4. 💎 - 50 = 🧔
5. 🎯 + 🧔 × 🍋 + 💎 = ?
---
Step 1: Look at equation 3:
💎 = 🍋
That means the diamond and lemon have the same value.
Step 2: Plug that into equation 2:
270 = 🍋 + 🍋 + 💎
But since 💎 = 🍋, we can replace 💎 with 🍋:
270 = 🍋 + 🍋 + 🍋 → 270 = 3 × 🍋
So, 🍋 = 270 ÷ 3 = 90
Then, since 💎 = 🍋, 💎 = 90 too.
Step 3: Use equation 4:
💎 - 50 = 🧔
We know 💎 = 90, so:
90 - 50 = 🧔 → 🧔 = 40
Step 4: Use equation 1:
🎯 + 🧔 + 🎯 = 240
We know 🧔 = 40, so:
🎯 + 40 + 🎯 = 240 → 2 × 🎯 + 40 = 240
Subtract 40 from both sides:
2 × 🎯 = 200 → 🎯 = 100
Now we have all values:
- 🎯 = 100
- 🧔 = 40
- 🍋 = 90
- 💎 = 90
Step 5: Solve equation 5:
🎯 + 🧔 × 🍋 + 💎 = ?
Plug in the numbers:
100 + 40 × 90 + 90
Remember order of operations (multiplication first!):
40 × 90 = 3600
Then: 100 + 3600 + 90 = 3790
Double-check:
100 + (40×90) + 90 = 100 + 3600 + 90 = 3790

Final Answer:
3790
