Solution:
Solving equation one, 3Zebras =30
Emplies Zebra = 30 ÷ 3
Emplies Zebra = 10.
Solving equation two, 2elephants - 10 = 10. This is because the value of a Zebra = 10.
Emplies 2elephants = 10 + 10
Emplies Elephant = 20 ÷ 2
Emplies Elephant = 10.
Solving equation three, 3Horses = 10 + 2.
Emplies Horses = 12 ÷ 3
Emplies Horses = 4.
The final step is to substitute the values of each animal in the last equation.
So, 10 + 10 × 4 = ?
To simply this, you need to multiply first according to the concept of BODMAS.
Now 10 × 4 = 40.
This emplies 10 + 40 = ?
Emplies 50 = ? The answer to the puzzle is 50. Many people failed because at the last step, they add before multiplying.
