Exactly.
 
Third line reads 5 + 2 + 2 = 9
 
I suppose that's supposed to be the trick of this. If you ignore that there are two sets of two fries in line three than the single fries in the last line will muck you up right sideways.

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




I'm hungry now........
 
I can't decide whether to have a pork pie or a macca d's.
 
Or a macca d's with fries.
 
 
Or 2 fries.
 
 
Or 2x10-4 fries.

Heh, both of your posts weren't there when I created my last one, but...
 
You're right!  I only saw line three as two fries, not four.
 
So (finally), fries do = 1 and the final answer is 15.
 
*Sigh...*  I take a day off and my eyesight takes the day off with it!

urm... 15?
 
Am I mistaken that without brackets an equation is to be performed left to right?
 
So in this case
 
5 + 1 = 6
 
6 x 10 = 60
 
To get 15 you'd have to multiply fries and the shake FIRST then add the burger like so...
 
1 x 10 = 10
 
10 + 5 = 15
 
and what I think that would be written as (instead of what is portrayed) is...
 
5 + (1 x 10) = 15
 
Anyhoo... now I'm curious if I flip flopped some junk around since I was kid barely paying attention in math class.

It's 60.
 
(5 + 1) = 6
               6   x   10   =   60

(5 + 1) = 6
               6   x   10   =   60
