1 umbrella = 114 - 86

= 28


1 pumpkin = (58 - 28) divided by 3

1 flower = [98 - (28 + 10)] divided by 2

= 30

3 umbrellas = 36

so 1 umbrella = 36 divided by 3

= 12


1 umbrella + 2 popsicles = 34

so 2 popsicles = 34 - 12

= 22

and 1 popsicle = 22 divided by 2

= 11


1 pumpkin = 41 - (11+12)

= 18


In conclusion, one pumpkin represents 18, one umbrella represents 12 and one popsicle represents 11.
