Where $D$ is a drink, $B$ is a burger and $F$ is fries:
|
||||
Where $\ttt$ is a {\topname}, $\mmm$ is a {\midname} and $\bbb$ is {\botname}:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ D + D + D = 30 $$
|
||||
so $D$ == 10
|
||||
$$ D + B + B = 20 $$
|
||||
so $B$ == 5
|
||||
$$ B + FF + FF = 9 $$
|
||||
so $FF + FF = 4$ therefore $FF=2$ so $F=\pm \sqrt{2}$
|
||||
$$ \ttt + \ttt + \ttt = 30 $$
|
||||
so $\ttt$ == 10
|
||||
$$ \ttt + \mmm + \mmm = 20 $$
|
||||
so $\mmm$ == 5
|
||||
$$ \mmm + \bbb \bbb + \bbb \bbb = 9 $$
|
||||
so $\bbb \bbb + \bbb \bbb = 4$ therefore $\bbb \bbb=2$ so $\bbb=\pm \sqrt{2}$
|
||||
|
||||
Onto the final equation
|
||||
$$B + F \times D = \; ? $$
|
||||
|
||||
As $F$ is $\pm \sqrt{2}$
|
||||
|
||||
there are two valid answers
|
||||
$$\mmm + \bbb \times \ttt = \; ? $$
|
||||
|
||||
As $\bbb$ is $\pm \sqrt{2}$ there are actually two valid answers:
|
||||
$ 5 + \sqrt{2} \times 10 $ and $ 5 - \sqrt{2} \times 10 $
|
||||
|
||||
So the answer is either 19.142 or -9.142.
