By: iTopTopics Staff

Ok so this looks very familiar like elementary school homework. But let’s see if you can get the right answer or not.

Let’s think it out loud together.

Each line gives us a clue on how to solve this fruit equation.

First line:

3 apples = 30 so each apple = 10

Second line:

Couple apple and 2 bunches of bananas together.

We already know the value of an apple = 10.

10 (apple) + bananas + bananas = 16

16 (total) – 10 (apple) = 6

So each banana bundle = 3.

At this point, you’ll need to think of the value of each individual banana. Each banana = 1.

Third line:

Now a banana bunch has 3 bananas = 3.

3 (bananas) – watermelon – watermelon = 1  3 – 2 = 1

So each half of the watermelon = 1.

Last line:

10 (apple) + 1 (half of a watermelon) + 2 (bananas) = 13

The trick here is the final equation includes only 1 bunch of 2 bananas instead of 3 bananas as shown on previous lines.

Easy-peasy!
