The nerd that I am must provide the answer (17).
 
Or a Double Quarter-Pounder combo meal.  Your choice.

 
60 isn't it? Burger (5) + fries (1), x drink (10), or do you have to do it another way round? I never know.

Good catch on the multiplication sign!  I missed it.  But, your answer is also incorrect.
 
Shakes are 10 each (10 + 10 + 10 = 30)
Burgers are 5 each (shake 10 + 5 + 5 = 20)
But fries are 2, not 1 (burger 5 + 2 + 2 = 9)
So burger plus fries times shake is (5 + 2 x 10), which looks at first like it would be 70 but, in math, the multiplication takes priority (unless there are parentheses), so it's 5 + (2 x 10) or 25.

 
2 fries=2. 
 
Last line has only one fries.

3rd line has 4 fries, not 2, last line has 1 fries, as Paulo says.
 
So, if multiplication takes priority (why?), then the answer is 15.

Yeesh...
 
Shakes = 10 each
 
Burgers = 5 each
 
Fries = 1 each
 
1 Burger (5)
+ 1 Fries (1)
= 6
 
 
6 x 1 Shake (10)
= 60

I feel dirty now.

Um, no.  If a burger is 5, then 9 - 5 is 4.  So two fries = 4, therefore each box of fries = 2.

Craig, look at the 3rd line again. There's FOUR fries.

I'd give it up if I were you. You're having a right ****ing nightmare with this.
 

IIRC multiplication or any other modifiers need to be put in brackets with the numbers to be futz with if they are to be given first priority in the equation.
 
As in do the math in the brackets first then use the results to complete the larger equation.
 
/sucks at math
//should probably remedy that
///this equation is not a real ballbuster though
 

I'm losing the will to live....can I have those fries?
