comparing first column with second row you get #-$=25. Comparing second row with second column you get @-$ =15. So #-@=10. putting ?=# you get for last row 2*10+ second row =155, which is want you want.

I didn't work through the equations, so I didn't know the value of each symbol. We know that it can't be @, because that would make the last row equal to the 2nd row. ? must be greater than @. Comparing 2nd row to 1st column, we see that # is greater than $. Comparing 2nd row to 2nd column, we see that $ is less than @, so it can't be $. That leaves # as the answer.

Yes, brilliant! You know I hadn’t even thought about doing it without actually solving for the numerical values for the symbols. Your way would actually be best, because in a Mensa test you’re hit by many questions so you need to be pretty quick. 😊 Thank you John 🎉
