Here's the answer
Let's break down the puzzle step-by-step to find the values of each fruit.
First equation (3 apples):
apple+apple+apple=30\text{apple} + \text{apple} + \text{apple} = 30
This implies that each apple is worth 10.
apple=10\text{apple} = 10
Second equation (1 apple and 2 bunches of bananas):
10+bananas+bananas=1810 + \text{bananas} + \text{bananas} = 18
Subtracting 10 from both sides:
2×bananas=82 \times \text{bananas} = 8
So, each bunch of bananas is worth 4.
bananas=4\text{bananas} = 4
Third equation (1 bunch of bananas and 2 coconut halves):
4−coconuts=24 - \text{coconuts} = 2
Subtracting 4 from both sides:
coconuts=2\text{coconuts} = 2
This means that each coconut half is worth 1 (since there are two halves in the picture).
Final equation: The last line shows one coconut half, one apple, and one bunch of bananas:
coconut half+apple+bananas=??\text{coconut half} + \text{apple} + \text{bananas} = ??
Substituting the values we found:
1+10+4=151 + 10 + 4 = 15
The answer is 15.
