Let’s solve it together
The first equation has three chocolate bars (CB) and their sum is 27.
Following the left side equals right side logic, we can find the value of the chocolate bar.
First equation:
CB+CB+CB=27
So,
Yes, LHS=RHS
3CB=27
CB=27÷3
CB=9
And 3 times 9 is 27, therefore proven.

In the second equation, we have 1 chocolate bar (CB) and two candies (C). Their sum is 29. Now that we know that CB is equal to 9, according to logic the left side is equal to the right side, we can also find the value of the candy.
Second equation:
CB+C+C=29
So,
Yes, LHS=RHS
9+2C=29
2C=29-9
2C=20
C=20÷2
C=10
9 added to 2 times 10 is 29, therefore proven
Now that we have the value of both the chocolate bar and the candy, the third equation is pretty simple where the lollipop (L) equals the value of the candy (C) subtracted by the value of the chocolate bar (CB). Now that we know that C is equal to 10 and CB is equal to 9, we can find the value of the paddle using the logic of LHS=RHS.
Third equation:
L=C-CB
So,
Yes, LHS=RHS
L=10-9
L=1
Now comes the final equation, we know the value of the chocolate bar (CB), the candy (C) and the lollipop (L). We can easily find their sum!
Final equation
CB+C+L=?
Yeah
CB=9
C=10
L=1
So,
9+10+1=?
?= 20
Solution:
The correct answer is 20.
Good job!
Fun right? I bet you now want to reward yourself with a chocolate bar! Solve these puzzles every day and improve your analytical skills without fail.
