Question

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.
