1. **State the problem:** We are given three equations involving apple, banana bunch, and coconut half: - apple + banana bunch + banana bunch = 18 - banana bunch - coconut half = 2 - coconut half + apple + banana bunch = ?? We also know the values: - apple = 6 - banana bunch = 6 - coconut half = 4 We need to find the value of $$\text{coconut half} + \text{apple} + \text{banana bunch}$$. 2. **Use the given values:** Substitute the known values into the expression: $$\text{coconut half} + \text{apple} + \text{banana bunch} = 4 + 6 + 6$$ 3. **Calculate the sum:** $$4 + 6 + 6 = 16$$ 4. **Final answer:** The value of $$\text{coconut half} + \text{apple} + \text{banana bunch}$$ is **16**.
