25 5 + (2X10) useing the rule???? listed above of multi then add.
But plug it into a calculater and you get 70 5 + 2 X 10

And then put it in an Excel spreadsheet and you get 25

you get 70 5 + 2 X 10

@Bob77346 :

You're missing that the fries value is 1 (not 2)...there are 2 sets of 2 fries in the second equation, worth 1 each (so 4 total)...but only 1 set of fries on the 3rd.

@brightlights fries are 2 not 1, burger is 5 + fries + fries = 9

@brightlights
I missed that at first, too. Bob, look at the number of fry boxes in the second one, as opposed to the third one.

Unknown is Cup:
3x=30
x=10

Unknown is Hamburger:
10+2x=20
2x=20-10
2x=10
x=5

Unknown is Fries:
5+2x=9
2x=9-5
2x=4
x=2

All now known, plug into final equation:
5+2*10
5+20 (order of operations dictates multiplication first)
25 is the final answer

EDIT:
Ooopppss....Just noticed that pair of fries is 2 but final equation has single fries, which must be 1....Sooo.....
5+1*10
5+10
15

Got me on that one!

@Sammee yes fries + fries = 4 generally 2 +2 = 4, how else can you get 9?? coke is 10, burger is 5 fries are 2
coke + coke + coke = 30
coke + burger + burger = 20 so 10 = burger +burger = 20 so burger = 5
then burger + fries + fries = 9 5 + 2 + 2=9
