    one shoe is worth 5 + guy who is worth 5,he has a pair of shoes on worth 10 and is holding a pair of straps worth 4 times one strap which is worth 2
    5+5+10+4=24×2=48 correct??

    You have to use the correct order of operations.

    The answer is 43

    He is holding 2 small Ruger 380’s.They are small CC weapons.What are they worth in the equation?

    The correct answer is 43!

    I agree it was tough to see though.

    This might help explain the answer. This was fun, Will, thanks!

    Well, with Sharon’s math I told her I’d just get an angle grinder to fix that lock.

    With this one the answer is two straps. I told the bodybuilder that he was looking really good and thin, well once he heard the word thin he mixed up like 6 scoops of protein and a nitro drink, grabbed his sneaks and left to hit the gym.
    All that’s left is 2 straps, final answer.

    I’m really bored doah

    Will, how can it be an odd number,
    when you take it times two ???

    When you multiply an even and an odd together it will always be an even number and when you times even and even together it will also be an even number..

    Sneaky, but you did give a hint…2

    If he (the guy) is holding 2 of the ribbon like things, then they would be ADDED to him.
    5+(9×2) = 23

    The equation ends up being 5 + 19 × 2 = 43.

    The guy is worth 19 (5 for him, 10 for the pair of shoes he’s now wearing, and 4 for the two laces he’s holding).

    If we recall the order of operations (PEMDAS) we know we need to multiple the 19 by 2 before adding the 5. Thus the answer is 43 (and not 48).

    What is around his wrists?

    I think that’s just how he’s holding onto the laces.

    Thank you Sharon, I never realized there was an order to follow (multiplication before addition).

    Heck, I struggle with measure twice, cut once,,,,,

    Thanks Sharon, did not see the shoes. I will need to get out my magnifying glass next time I see one of these!

    wouldn’t 5+19×2 be 48. 5+19=24 24×2=48 ?

    Guess I didn’t see that above. Seems stupid to me.

    JEREMY:

    Provided everyone can agree the the middle number is 19, then the order of operation for that equation is done as explained above in Sharon’s post using PEMDAS. The order of operation then follows from PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and finally Subtraction.

    So 5 + 19 x 2 = 43.

    19 x 2 = 38 +5 = 43

    The answer is actually infinite.

    Two images that may appear alike, have no correlation in value just because they look alike unless that is a specific instruction given. Since there are no instructions stating that, the new images have nothing to base any value off from so you could assign any value you choose and the equation would give you whatever answer.
