Unfortunately it’s not clear enough to see what’s in his hands

No. I missed the multiply sign. In that case, 60

Obviously 60 unless he has a trainer in each hand in which case = 100.

We need to post our workings

So

Shoes = 10
Chap = 5
Wrist straps = 1 and 1/2

I’m happy to be corrected???

And he has trainers on his feet, in which case (assuming what he has in his hands are the strap things) my final go 132

Our family are doing a similar puzzle and you have to bear in mind the calculation on last line is right to left not left to right as we usually read stuff.

Right to left?? Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong ?
