To solve the problem, we need to determine the values of the strawberry, ice cream cone, and the fruit basket based on the given equations. Let's break it down step by step.
Step 1: Define Variables
Let:
- \( S \) be the value of a strawberry.
- \( I \) be the value of an ice cream cone.
- \( B \) be the value of the fruit basket.
Step 2: Write Down the Equations
From the image, we have the following equations:
1. \( S + S + S = 42 \)
2. \( I + S + I = 28 \)
3. \( I + I - B = 8 \)
4. \( S + B \times I = ? \)
Step 3: Solve for \( S \)
From the first equation:
\[
S + S + S = 42
\]
\[
3S = 42
\]
\[
S = \frac{42}{3} = 14
\]
Step 4: Solve for \( I \)
From the second equation:
\[
I + S + I = 28
\]
Substitute \( S = 14 \):
\[
I + 14 + I = 28
\]
\[
2I + 14 = 28
\]
\[
2I = 28 - 14
\]
\[
2I = 14
\]
\[
I = \frac{14}{2} = 7
\]
Step 5: Solve for \( B \)
From the third equation:
\[
I + I - B = 8
\]
Substitute \( I = 7 \):
\[
7 + 7 - B = 8
\]
\[
14 - B = 8
\]
\[
B = 14 - 8
\]
\[
B = 6
\]
Step 6: Solve the Final Equation
Now, we need to find the value of:
\[
S + B \times I
\]
Substitute \( S = 14 \), \( B = 6 \), and \( I = 7 \):
\[
S + B \times I = 14 + 6 \times 7
\]
First, perform the multiplication:
\[
6 \times 7 = 42
\]
Then, perform the addition:
\[
14 + 42 = 56
\]
Final Answer
\[
\boxed{56}
\]
