ANSWER

275 is the correct answer.

Explanation

Equation 1: (4 + 4) + (4 + 4) + (4 + 4) = 24 -> From this equation, the value of SHOE = 4; Also, you can see there are 2 shoes in each part of this equation, one beneath the other. Another thing you have to note here is that there are 4 stripes in each shoe.

Equation 2: 15 + (15 + 15) + 15 = 60 -> From this equation, the value of LEAVES = 15 ; Also in the second part of equation, you can see there are 2 set of leaves, one beneath the other.

Equation 3: 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 -> From this equation, the value of a HAT = 2

Equation 4: 5 + (12 + 2 + 1) x ( (2 + 15 + 1)

In the first part of the equation, there is a shoe, but with five stripes, so its value = 5

In the second part of the equation, there are set of leaves, but only with 4 leaves (Value = 3 x 4 = 12) ; Then there is a hat in one of the leaves (Value = 2); Then there is a stripe in another leaf (Value = 1)

In the third part of the equation, there is a hat (Value = 2); Then there are 5 leaves (Value = 15) ; Then there is a stripe in one side of the ribbon (Value = 1)

=> On solving Equation 4, we get

=> 5 + 15 x 18

=> 5 + 270

=> 275
