He has come from the hole in the roof because the text states that he did not come from a door, a window, or a chimney, and that is the only answer that was left.
(5 Neighbors) x (($1.00 Box) + (? Plant) + ($3.00 Gloves)) = 42.50
5 x (1 + x + 3) = 42.50
Combine in parens.
5 x (4 + x) = 42.50
Distribute.
20 + 5x = 42.50
Subtract 20 from both sides.
5x = 22.50
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 4.50
Thats the cost of each plant.
Check.
5 x (1 + 4.50 + 3)
5 x 8.50 = 42.50
You divide the top by the battle
