Did You Solve This Correctly?
This brain teaser is a fun way to challenge your mathematical thinking and attention to detail. You’ve seen it before—classic logic puzzles with burgers, fries, and drinks. At first glance, it might seem simple, but let’s see if you can get it right. Ready to test your skills?
The Puzzle Breakdown
At first, you might think it’s just a simple addition, but this puzzle plays tricks on your brain. Let’s take a look at why many people make common mistakes:
Misinterpreting Item Counts: Often, people overlook that some images contain more than one item (like fries or burgers). This can lead to incorrect values for each item.
Skipping Over Multiplication: In the final equation, multiplication is involved. Some may jump straight into adding all the elements without realizing the order of operations matters (remember PEMDAS?).
Step-by-Step Solution
Now, let’s break it down step by step:
First equation
- 3 drinks = 30
- 1 drink = 10
Second equation
- 1 drink + 2 burgers = 20
- Since the drink is 10, then 2 burgers = 10.
- 1 burger = 5
Third equation
- 1 burger + 2 fries = 9
- We already know that 1 burger = 5, so 2 fries = 4.
- 1 fries = 2
Final equation
- 1 burger + 1 fries × 1 drink = ?
Remember the order of operations: multiplication before addition.
- So, 1 fries × 1 drink = 2 × 10 = 10.
- Then, 1 burger + 10 = 5 + 10 = 15
The answer is 15!
