Solving the Difficult Minion Puzzle8: Apples, Cherries, and Strawberries Edition πππ

This puzzle is another brain teaser where you assign numerical values to fruits and use arithmetic to solve the final equation. Letβs break it down step by step.
Step 1: Analyze the First Row of the Difficult Minion Puzzle8
The first row contains 3 apples that sum up to 15.
To find the value of one apple:Apple=15Γ·3=5\text{Apple} = 15 \div 3 = 5Apple=15Γ·3=5
Step 2: Analyze the Second Row
The second row includes:
- One strawberry
- Two cherries
- One apple (5)
The total is 19.
Subtract the appleβs value from 19:Strawberry+Cherries (pair)=19β5=14\text{Strawberry} + \text{Cherries (pair)} = 19 – 5 = 14Strawberry+Cherries (pair)=19β5=14
Step 3: Analyze the Third Row
The third row has:
- Two cherries (pair) (from Step 2)
- Another pair of cherries
- One strawberry
The total is 26.
Letβs solve this systematically:Two cherries (pair)=14Γ·2=7\text{Two cherries (pair)} = 14 \div 2 = 7Two cherries (pair)=14Γ·2=7
Now substitute into the third row:7+7+Strawberry=267 + 7 + \text{Strawberry} = 267+7+Strawberry=26Strawberry=26β14=12\text{Strawberry} = 26 – 14 = 12Strawberry=26β14=12
Step 4: Solve the Final Row
The final equation includes:
- One cherry (not a pair, so divide by 2)
- One strawberry (12)
- One apple (5)
The operation is Cherry + Strawberry Γ· Apple.
Substitute the values:Cherry=7Γ·2=3.5\text{Cherry} = 7 \div 2 = 3.5Cherry=7Γ·2=3.5
Now solve:3.5+12Γ·53.5 + 12 \div 53.5+12Γ·5
Follow BODMAS (division first):12Γ·5=2.412 \div 5 = 2.412Γ·5=2.43.5+2.4=5.93.5 + 2.4 = 5.93.5+2.4=5.9
Final Answer: 5.9
Tips for Similar Puzzles:
- Solve in Steps: Start with rows that have identical items to simplify equations.
- Order of Operations: Always follow BODMAS/PEMDAS rules when solving the final equation.
- Double-Check Values: Ensure the values you assign remain consistent across all rows.
