Bottle Beer = 10 units
Burger = 5 units
Beer Mug = 1 unit
10+10+10=30
10+5+5=20
5+2+2=9
5+(1x10)=15
Burger = 5 units
Beer Mug = 1 unit
10+10+10=30
10+5+5=20

They dont know order of operations so they are reading left to right
5+1 (or 2 if you didnt count mugs) = 6 or 7 x 10 = 60 or 70
They are adding before multiplying

They're getting 5+2 = 7, 7 x 10 = 70, or 5 + 1 = 6, 6 x 10 = 60.

At first I thought 16
Damn order of operations got me because i thought the x was a +
Answer is 15

I get 15 but I'm an idiot so that's probably not correct
Pretty sure you had 60 before the edit.

Why did you edit?
Posted on 11/18/16 at 8:26 am to theunknownknight
3x = 30 _______ x=10
1x + 2y=20 ____ y=5
1y +2z=9 ______ z=2
1y+1zx1X= 70
ETA originally had all 3 addition, no coffee yet, changed it to include the multiplication
2nd ETA: not counting the difference in pics of beers as that's just stupid, beer is beer.

The real answer here is to buy draft beers. 2 draft beers for $2 compared to $10 for one bottle.

And still got it wrong.

X=bottle
Y=burger
Z=beer
3x=30, x=10
10+2y=20, y=5
5+4z=9, z=1
10+5*1=15
Did not see the multiplication sign at first
