Question

Have three witches each holding a broom and a spoon. Witches say witch plus witch plus witch =45. Three brooms say broom plus broom plus a broom =21 and three spoons say spoon plus spoon plus spoon = 12 then final question is a plain witch plus broom x spoon equal a ? What's answer?

Answer 1

32

Explanation:

witch plus witch plus witch = 45 ⇒ witch = 45/3 = 15

broom plus broom plus a broom = 21 ⇒ broom = 21/3 = 7

spoon plus spoon plus spoon = 12 ⇒ spoon = 12/3 = 4

__

If we assume each witch on first line refers to a "loaded" witch that includes a broom and a spoon, then a "plain" witch is ...

plain witch = witch - broom - spoon = 15 -7 -4 = 4

and the final total of interest is ...

plain witch plus broom x spoon = 4 + 7 × 4 = 4 +28 = 32
