Answer 1

Complete 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 equals_____?

Answer:

43

Explanation:

3 witches each holding a broom and a spoon

Let's assume we are dealing with points here and each witch shares the same point as the other.

-----All 3 witches have a total points of 45.

Therefore,each witch is 45/3 = 15 points

The brooms at their disposal are also 3 in number and the combination of their points totals 21.

Therefore,each broom has the points 21/3 = 7

And for the spoons, all 3 share a point total of 12.

Therefore,each spoon shares a point of 12/3 = 4

*We are now asked to find the value in terms of points, sum of a witch and the product of a spoon and a broom

Witch = 15

Broom = 7

Spoon = 4

15 + (7 × 4)

= 43

Answer 2

Complete 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:

a = 43

Explanation:

Let witch = w

w + w + w = 45

3w = 45

w = 45/3

w = 15

Let broom = b

b + b + b = 21

3b = 21

b = 21/3

b = 7

Let spoon = s

s + s + s = 12

3s = 12

s = 12/3

s = 4

From the question, witch + broom * spoon = a

i.e. a = w + b * s

a = 15 + 7 * 4

a = 15 + 28

a = 43
