Hint one

[su_spoiler title=”Show hint one” style=”simple”]Remember to multiply or divide before you add or subtract. Does “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally” or BODMAS (Brackets,Orders,Divide,Multiply,Add,Subtract) ring a bell from your school days?[/su_spoiler]

Solution

[su_spoiler title=”Show solution” style=”simple”]Aubergine is 10, Peach is 5, each cherry is 1.
There are 2 peaches on line 3 and 3 cheries so 10 – 3 = 7.
On the last line there is one aubergine, one peach and two cherries 10 + (5 * 2).
As you always multiply before diving this gives 20.[/su_spoiler]
