What about coach wearing whistle in 1st 3 pics/lines BUT NO WHISTLE in last pic/line
Interesting.

So, each shoe = 5
Each coach with a whistle = 5
Each whistle = 2
Coach without whistle = 3

Last line is 5 + 3 x 2 = 16

from the link:


Why is the Order of Operations Important?
The math order of operations is important because it will ensure you get the correct answer. Here is an example to illustrate two ways to calculate 1 + 2 × 3

Incorrect: 1 plus 2 equals 3, and then 3 times 3 equals 9.
Correct: 2 times 3 equals 6, and then 6 plus 1 equals 7.

I have decided this is a Kobayashi Maru (star trek) scenario.

there is not enough information provided.

Are the two shoes and two whistles represented as multiplication or addition.
EX: as Shoe + Shoe (X + X), or as whistle x whistle (Y x Y)? because that means the the whistle is indeed 2 either way. BUT the shoe then becomes either 5 (addition) or 3.17 rounded (multiplication to get 10 rounded) with final answers being rounded)

then the dude with a whistle sitting on him, is it multiplication, addition, or even division (whistle over dude)? Giving three different numbers entirely.

therefore Kobayashi Maru. The game is rigged and cant be won.

also my final answer: 5 + (3x2) = 11

And I am indeed retarded.

I initially thought 16, but just caught the single shoe in the last pic so my answer is 11.

I get 16, unless there’s something to that order of operation thing. (Haven’t had a math related class since 1981 and don’t work with equations).

Shoe = 5
Dude with whistle = 5 but without whistle =3
whistle = 2

5+3x2=16

Hold on Mr. Pardo. If this is right it looks like imprimis beat me to the answer. I don’t want to know what I might have won. I might not be able to bear the disappointment.

3*2 is 6 and 6+5 is 16?
I think the correct numerical values are assigned to the images. What I was doing was 5+3 = 8 and 8x2= 16.

If there is some order of operation requirement as someone suggested and it is necessary to multiply first (I have no idea on this) then it might be 3x2=6 and 6+5= 11.

I'll do it...

Shoe= 5
Whistle= 2
Mexican= 3

(5+5) + (5+5) + (5+5) = 30

(5+5) + (3+2) + (3+2) = 20

(3+2) + (2+2) + (2+2) = 13

5 + 3*2 = 5+6 = 11

11 is yore final answer

It's 11.

Dude is worth 5 with a whistle.
Whistles are worth 2.
Shoes are worth 5 each.

Bottom row: 1 shoe + (Dude without whistle x whistle) = 5 + (3 x 2) = 11

One shoe = 5
One Chinaman = 5
One Whistle = 2
Order of operations is multiplication first.

5+(5x2)=15. Final Answer.

I would argue that having a single shoe adds no value, so it should be assigned a 0 in the last line. Plus, the Chinaman (not the preferred nomenclature dude) doesn't have his whistle in the last picture, which makes him ineffective as a coach as well, so any number multiplied by 0 is 0, and then add the 0 for the single shoe, so your answer is zero.
