Let’s take the the value of every ice cream to be: 

X = Rainbow Ice Cream

Y = Watermelon Ice Cream

Z = Ice Cream Cone

Let’s solve the second equation. 

In the second equation, we have 3 Watermelon Ice Creams being multiplied togethe,r which gives a total value of 27. 

So we get: 

Y × Y × Y = 27 

Y3 = 27 

Y = 3 

So, the value of the Watermelon Ice Cream is 3

From the third equation, we have 2 Watermelon Ice Creams being Multiplied with one Rainbow Ice Cream with a total value of 18. So we get: 

Y × X × Y = 18

Taking the value of Watermelon Ice Cream from the above equation, we get: 

3 × X × 3 = 18 

9X = 18 

X = 18/9 

X = 2  

So, the value of one Rainbow Ice Cream is 2

Now, coming to the first equation we have 3 Rainbow Ice Creams being multiplied together which gives out the value equivalent to  an Ice Cream Cone. This means: 

X × X × X = Z

Taking the value of Rainbow Ice Cream from the above, we have: 

2 × 2 × 2 = Z 

8 = Z 

So, the value of one Ice Cream Cone is 8

Now, coming to the last equation, we have three Ice Cream Cones being added together. Now, to find the value of three ice cream cones, we have: 

Z + Z + Z =? 

Taking the value of one Ice Cream Cone from above, we have: 

8 + 8 + 8 = 24 

So, the value of the final equation is 24
