Answer explanation

Lets look at 3rd Equation first, watermelon + watermelon = 2. So watermelon should have the same value, which is 1.

Watermelon = 1.

Lets look at 2nd Equation. 26 - marshmallow = watermelon (1). Here, 26 minus what equals to 1? Just minus the two numbers, 26 - 1 = 25 (marshmallow)

Lets look at 4th Equation. It says 2 fish is equals to watermelon (1) + 9 = 10. So fish + fish = 10. What two similar numbers when you add them, will give 10? That would be 5 + 5 = 10. So one fish = 5.

Now let's look at 1st Equation.

Fish (5) + jelly bean + fish (5) = marshmallow (24). To find the value of jelly bean, just minus all the numbers. 25 - 5 - 5 = 15. So jelly bean = 15.

Last equation. Marshmallow (25) - jelly bean (15) = 10.

Answer explanation

If you look at the first box (top left), potion x potion = 1. So it should be 1 x 1 = 1. Potion = 1.

Now that we know potion = 1, lets look at the first box on the second column, the number is 3, which is potion (1) x zombie hand. So, zombie hand should be 3.

Look at the lip, the value outside the box is 2 and multiply with potion (1), so 2 x 1 = 2.

For bat, look at the center box. 2 x zombie hand (3) = 6. So bat = 6.

Last one is the moon. Knowing that zombie hand is 3 and multiply with bat (6) = 18.

Answer explanation

Here needs more thinking. If you look at 2nd Equation, ferret + hat = 13.

3rd Equation said snowflake - sun = (ferret + hat = 13).

So, snowflake - sun = 13.

4th Equation said, snowflake + sun = 27. Here you need to find 2 values when you minus, it will give 13, but when you add it will give 27.

If you put snowflake = 20, sun = 7, when you minus, it will give 13, and when you add it will give 27.

Now the last equation.

ferret + hat (13) + snowflake 20 = 33.

Answer explanation

Look at 2nd Equation, cake + cake = 10. The value of cake should be the same, so two similar values that gives out 10 is 5. So one cake = 5.

3rd Equation is cookie divided by cake (5) = 8. Here, to find the value of cookie, you need to multiply 8 x 5 = 40. So cookie = 40.

Remember BODMAS! 1st equation is cookie (40) + cake (5) x cupcake = 70. Do not add the cookie and cake because it it addition when there is multiplication. So you need to move the cookie to the other side, which become cake (5) x cupcake = 70 - 40 = 30.

cake (5) x cupcake = 30. What times by 5 equals to 30? cupcake is 6.
