How much food did this crook steal?

1 answer

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.
