OK, I changed my mind. Here is what I come up with:

2 shoes = 10 therefore 1 shoe =5
Boy = 5
2 bouquets = 4 therefore 1 bouquet = 2

Final formula is:

1 shoe + (boy holding 2 bouquets and wearing 2 shoes) X 1 bouquet which would numerically be 5 + (5+4+10) X 2 or 5+19X2. Using the MDAS method of solving that would then be 5+38=43 (final answer).



I think we have a winner! Do you get a brand new camera? ;)

Actually it is 43.


I don't see where it says it should be worked as an algebraic formula by putting the second item in the equation in parentheses. If you use straight math like I did, it comes out 48.

It's 10 just for the boy and the one shoe. What about the two shoes he's wearing, and the three bouquets?

His right shoe is worth 6 points and his left shoe is worth 4 points. So that makes the final ,final answer 50

That's the answer I got too. Working it as it a regular math problem.

Pair of shoes = 10
Therefore 1 shoe = 5
2 boys = (20-10) = 10, so boy = 5
4 cones = 13-5=8 so cone =2
Therefore boy +2 cones + 2 shoes (19) x 1 cone (2) = 38 then add 1 shoe (5) so answer is 43

5 + (5 + 4 + 10) × 2 = 5 + 38 = 43
