According to Bright Side , the answer is 81.

There are two subtle details you may have looked past, first of which is the number of yellow flowers: in the third equation there are 2, and in the last one there’s just 1.

The second detail you may have missed is a little more tricky to pick up. Within the second equation, the flowers equal 5 and they have 5 petals each, all of which equal 1. In the last equation, the purple flower only has 4 petals (4×1). So, 20×4 + 1 = 81.
