Algebra Puzzle Solution

Let p represent the pumpkin

Let d represent the drum

L c represent the clock

3p = 45

so p = 45 ÷ 3

= 15

2c + p = 25

p = 15

2c = 25-15

= 10

c = 10 ÷ 2

= 5

c + 2d = 9

c = 5

2d = 9 - 5

= 4

d = 4 ÷ 2

= 2

Let p represent pumpkin

Let m represent mango

Let u represent umbrella

3p = 84

p = 84 ÷ 3

= 28

3p + u = 110

3p = 84

u = 110 - 84

= 26

p + 2m = 70

p = 28

2m = 70 - 28

42

m = 42 ÷ 2

= 21
