Question

A Dirty Thief was hungry and he was starving to death so he broke into a McDonald's and stole 2 big macs and a 4 piece chicken nugget. Later he went to a store and stole 4 barbeque steaks and 2 bags of potato chips. At night he stole 2 ham steaks 1 turkey sandwich and 3 pack of gummy bears.

How much food did this crook steal?

Answer 1

Let's tally up the food that the thief stole:

1. **From McDonald's**:
- 2 Big Macs
- 4-piece chicken nuggets

Total from McDonald's: 2 Big Macs + 1 (4-piece chicken nugget) = 2 + 1 = 3 items

2. **From the store**:
- 4 barbeque steaks
- 2 bags of potato chips

Total from the store: 4 barbeque steaks + 2 bags of potato chips = 4 + 2 = 6 items

3. **At night**:
- 2 ham steaks
- 1 turkey sandwich
- 3 packs of gummy bears

Total at night: 2 ham steaks + 1 turkey sandwich + 3 packs of gummy bears = 2 + 1 + 3 = 6 items

Now, let's add all the items together:

- From McDonald's: 3 items
- From the store: 6 items
- At night: 6 items

Total food stolen: 3 + 6 + 6 = 15 items

Therefore, the crook stole a total of **15 items** of food.
