Then 5 Rows has 91 Pumkins
O-------------------------------------------------------- 91

Total 455 Pumkins
BUT...She it says she had 9 ROWS
So Here are the remaining rows but with only 1 pumkin in it

So 455 plus 4 EQUALS 459
I'll look at it again to see if I can come up with another logic but thats what I have so far.... |
Except it doesn't say that the other 4 rows have any pumpkins in them...
I don't think it can be solved as is; there should be more info, unless it is just asking you to write an expression, but as it is, it will feature two variables...
