that sounds about right

24?

banana = 15

cherry = 5

apple = 4

15 + 5 X 4

You do the multiplication first. 5 x 4 = 20. 20+15 = 35.

The answer is 35.

15 + 15 = 30

10 + 10 = 20

4 + 4 = 8

15 + (10 x 4)

15 + 40 = 55

...

My algebra is rusty.

The cherries are 5 each, not 10. There are 4 equaling 20. There is only one cherry in the final equation, not one pair of cherries.

My eyes are rusty, too...

Ha, I forgot the math rules. funny how the answer changes based on the rules.

This is one of those tricks that are popular at Facebook. The point is always that some things go in pairs and you have to figure out an equation where you suddenly have just an individual thing, not the pair of it.

1 banana = 15

2 cherries = 10

1 cherry = 5

1 apple = 4

Apply math rule: PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)


15 + 5 X 4

15 + 20 = 35

35

A smoothie?
