A graphic artist is testing everyone’s knowledge of algebra and spot-the-difference skills with a pictograph math problem that assigns numbers to different fruits.
Gergely Dudás, of Hungary Budapest, shared the food-inspired math problem and visual puzzle with Fox News Digital, and he used bananas, apples and cherries to illustrate four equations.
Can you solve each math equation?

Dudás initially shared this pictograph math problem on social media back in June 2021.
On Facebook, nearly half of his followers were able to figure out the final equation’s value, which was represented by two apples, a pair of cherries and a trio of bananas.
Five Facebook users weren’t able to correctly calculate the final answer – listing numbers like 108, 36, 42 and 60.

Commenters under the post were divided on whether the pictograph math problem was easy or challenging.
"I keep forgetting the math rules," one Facebook user wrote in defeat.
"You cheeky bugger!" Another user exclaimed.
"Yes! I got it!" One user claimed.
