ANSWER
The correct answer to the math puzzle:
The image presents the following equations:
Cat + Cat + Cat = 60
Cat + 3eggs + 3eggs = 26
3eggs + 6bananas + 6bananas = 15
By calculating, from the first equations it follows that:
Cat = 20
3Eggs = 3 therefore one egg = 1
6bananas = 6 therefore one banana = 1
If you observe the image, the last equation is not so simple, as there is one cat and 2 eggs, and 4 bananas. Those who rushed to do the calculations and did not notice this detail did not find the correct answer.
Then apply the BODMAS rule.
So, the last equation is:
Cat + 2 eggs x 4 bananas -> 20 + 2 x 4 = 20 + 8 = 28.
The correct answer is 28.
