The answer is 16.

How did we get there? Well, it’s algebra.

Get started like this:

Let’s call the shoes S, the cat C, and and whistle W. The first equation sets up the whole puzzle: 3 pairs of shoes added together equal 30. S + S + S = 30, so divide 30 by 3. Each pair of sneakers represents a 10.

I’m sure a math genius like you can take it from there!
