Complete Question:
Have three witches each holding a broom and a spoon. Witches say witch plus witch plus witch =45. Three brooms say broom plus broom plus a broom =21 and three spoons say spoon plus spoon plus spoon = 12 then final question is a plain witch plus broom x spoon equal a ? What's answer?
Answer:
a = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
Let witch = w
w + w + w = 45
3w = 45
w = 45/3
w = 15
Let broom = b
b + b + b = 21
3b = 21
b = 21/3
b = 7
Let spoon = s
s + s + s = 12
3s = 12
s = 12/3
s = 4
From the question, witch + broom * spoon = a
i.e. a = w + b * s
a = 15 + 7 * 4
a = 15 + 28
a = 43
Complete Question:
Have three witches each holding a broom and a spoon. Witches say witch plus witch plus witch =45. Three brooms say broom plus broom plus a broom =21 and three spoons say spoon plus spoon plus spoon = 12 then final question is a plain witch plus broom x spoon equals_____?
Answer:
43
Step-by-step explanation:
3 witches each holding a broom and a spoon
Let's assume we are dealing with points here and each witch shares the same point as the other.
-----All 3 witches have a total points of 45.
Therefore,each witch is 45/3 = 15 points
The brooms at their disposal are also 3 in number and the combination of their points totals 21.
Therefore,each broom has the points 21/3 = 7
And for the spoons, all 3 share a point total of 12.
Therefore,each spoon shares a point of 12/3 = 4
*We are now asked to find the value in terms of points, sum of a witch and the product of a spoon and a broom
Witch = 15
Broom = 7
Spoon = 4
15 + (7 × 4)
= 43
