    My third attempt at an answer below (highlight to reveal to avoid spoilers):

    6x = 30 (therefore x = 5)

    2y + 2x = 20 (therefore 2y = 10 therefore y= 5)

    4z + y = 13 (therefore 4z = 8, z = 2)

    x + ((y+2z+2x)*z) [note order of operations] = 5 +((5+4+10)*2) = 5+(19*2) = 5+38=43

    If the single cone represents 2, then the answer is 20?

    Isn't a single ice-cream (final row) only worth 2?

    Also, the person in the final row is holding 2 ice-creams and wearing a pair of shoes, so I assume that increases their score?

    I only took this on because I've started tutoring my cousin A-Level maths.

    The poor bairn is ****ed isn't he...
