Wrong o

I reckon. I later realized the glasses were half full, the correct answer is meant to be 13

3+4x5=
3+(4x5)=
3+20=23

This is a good academic exercise to give insight into the minds of the people on nairaland.

Someone saw an equation that involves + and x, but solved + and +. Guess what? Many people liked the answer And you wonder why Nigeria is where it is

3+22×5= 113

Many are wrong answer is 15

Freethinker87:
I'm not sure that's accounted for cos even if we factor in the content of the glass, how do we know it's half full and not 7/13 full, given the shape of the glass and the complexity of determining volume by mere sight?

That's the trick, you're supposed to notice such tiny details and account for them.

I'm not new to these games

Correct 13 by use of BODMAS
multiplication comes first

The answer is 25.

Red wine = 3
Champagne = 5
2 glasses of "half filled" drink = 2

3 + 2 x 5 = 25.

3+2x5 ≠ 25

3+2x5 = 13

3+4*5=23

i) 3 bottles of wine =9
Let the 3 bottles be 3X
X = 9/3
X = 3
Wine = 3

ii) 1 bottle of wine + 1 bottle of champagne =8
Since 1 wine bottle = 3
Let 1 bottle of champagne be Y
3 + Y = 8
Y = 8 - 3
Y = 5
Champagne = 5

1 bottle of champagne = 5
iii) 1 bottle of wine + 2 glasses of champagne = 7
Let 2 glasses of champagne be 2G
Recall 1 bottle of wine = 3
3 + 2G = 7
2G = 7 - 3
2G = 4
G = 4/2
G = 2
A glass of champagne = 2

iv) 1 bottle of wine + 2 half glasses of champagne + 1 bottle of champagne = ?
Since 1 glass is 2, half glass will be 1.
3 + (2x1) x 5 =?
Applying BODMAS
3 + 2 x 5 = ?
3 + 10=?
13 =?
Therefore the answer is 13.
