How much food did this crook steal?

Answer 1

To find out how much food the thief stole, we can tally everything he took from each location.

From McDonald's:
- 2 Big Macs
- 4-piece Chicken Nuggets

From the store:
- 4 Barbeque Steaks
- 2 Bags of Potato Chips

At night:
- 2 Ham Steaks
- 1 Turkey Sandwich
- 1 Pack of Gummy Bears

Now, let's add them together:

1. **McDonald's:**
- 2 Big Macs
- 4-piece Chicken Nuggets

2. **Store:**
- 4 Barbeque Steaks
- 2 Bags of Potato Chips

3. **Night:**
- 2 Ham Steaks
- 1 Turkey Sandwich
- 1 Pack of Gummy Bears

Now, summing up:
- Big Macs: 2
- Chicken Nuggets: 4 pieces
- Barbeque Steaks: 4
- Potato Chips: 2 bags
- Ham Steaks: 2
- Turkey Sandwich: 1
- Gummy Bears: 1 pack

Total food items:
- 2 Big Macs + 4 Chicken Nuggets + 4 Barbeque Steaks + 2 Bags of Potato Chips + 2 Ham Steaks + 1 Turkey Sandwich + 1 Pack of Gummy Bears
- = 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 16 items of food.

In summary, the crook stole a total **of 16 food items**.
