Answer to 1 + Answer to 3, – Answer to 2 x Answer to 3 = ___

 

 

1.) 1 (The guy had all that stuff, but he didn't necessarily have it with him, and the guy wasn't necessarily going to St. Ives, so we only know of one guy going to St. Ives)

2.) 5 (An old $5, not new $1)

3.) 0 ( 0 x .5=0)

4.) 1 (Following the Order of Operations: 1+0-5x0= 1+0-0= 1)
