    5 + (5 + 2 +2) × 2
    = 5 + 9 × 2
    = 5 + 18
    = 23

    Standard FB stuff - ie BODMAS with bit to catch everyone out at the end, ie ice creams in hands.

    It is standard however the boy (worth 5) has two shoes (ten) and 2 cones (4)

    This gives 19

    So
    5 + 19 x 2
    = 5 + 38
    = 43

    Just seen this thread but in fairness these questions are more about observation than they are about mathematics. You're maths was correct, just didn't notice the shoes.

    Even then this is laid out wrong as it doesnt matter the order for multiplication and division and it also doesn’t matter for the order of addition and subtraction

    Example: 3 + 4 - 1. You could add 3 and 4 to get 7 then subtract 1 to get 6 or you could do 4 subtract 1 to get 3 then do 3 add 3 to get 6
