Okay, I found this problem on the internet, so its obviously not original, but its really tricky, and I liked it a lot, even though its pretty simple. Here it is -
So, I will be posting the solution below shortly. If you got this right in the first try and didn't get confused, share it in the comments. If you have a solution that is different than what I have given, please share that too. That's all folks...
Kidding! Lol, can't believe you fell for that, but anyways, the solution has been given by members in the comments, so instead of a solution, I give Kudos to the first correct solution, by HalfPass3!

Key: Bluegem=B Redgem=R Crown=C Ring=O (to make the explanation simpler, I got rid of the + sign so for example of a crown with red gem, I use CR instead, and it's not multiplication.)
Let's list the information: CR + CR + CR = 24
BO + BO + CR = 22
BB + BB + BO = 19
RR + RR + CR = 16
For the first line we already know the CR=24÷3=8, so CR = 8
22−BO−BO−CR =22−2BO−8 =14÷2 BO = 7
19−7=2BB 12÷4=B B=3
16−8=2RR 8÷4=R R=2
Now we get all the information, Let's summarise them:
Now, for the solution, CB+RB×RO =9+5×6 =39
(I'll add colours later on.)

You are the first to actually get it right! Lam got it wrong

lol I experienced this kind of problem before, but they are harder to guess. Like one of the figures is a shirt with a whistle(barely noticeable), and at the end it ask how much was a shirt.

Done!
That last multiplicative is sneaky sneaky...

lol yea
yea, i missed that, otherwise i found this problem rather simple, and was shocked when i got the answer wrong :)
I did notice that, but I didn't appreciate the fact that I had to do it all over again. :/

lol you just changed it.

This is very easy. One crown is 8 because 8x3=24, and one ring is 7 because 22-8=14 and 14/2=7. 19-7=12, so 1 blue diamond=3, since 12/4=3. One crown=8, so one red diamond=2, since 16-8=8 and 8/4=2. Now we can see that one crown without a diamond is 6, since 8-2=6. Also, one ring without a diamond is 4, since 7-3=4. So, one crown with a blue diamond is 9, since 6+3=9. The gems add up to 5, since 3+2=5. One ring with a red diamond is 6, since 4+2=6.
Multiply them together to get 39, since 9 + (5 x 6) = 39.
The answer is 39.

You forgot PEDMAS/PODMAS/BODMAS/BEDMAS Granger...Multiplication is done before addition. So its 9+(5×6), not (9+5)×6 @Hermione Granger

Oh, ok, now your answer makes sense
I'll change my comment now

I used code to solve this question:
Now that we know the four important values are, we can solve the actual question.
(8-6+4)*(3+2)+(8-2+3), which corresponds to:
(RING-BLUE+RED)*(RED JEWEL + BLUE JEWEL) + (CROWN-RED+BLUE)
So final answer is 39

I agree that the answer is 39 I found it out this way
RC+RC+RC =RC×3 = 24
3RC = 24
RC÷3 = 24÷3
RC =8
And that crown has a Red gem
Then
BRi+BRi+ C=22
BRi+BRi+8=22
2BRi+8-8=22-8
2BRi=14
2BRi÷2=14÷2
BRi=7
That ring has a blue gem.
2B +2B + BRi =19
4B+7=19
4B+7-7=19-7
4B=12
4B÷4=12÷4
B=3
That is a blue gem
R+R+RC = 16
2R+2R+8-8=16-8
4R=8
4R÷4=8÷4
R=2
That's a red gem
Meaning that the value of a crown with out a red gem is
The value of a crown with a red gem minus the value of a red gem
RC-R=C
8-2=6
C=6
Now a ring with out a gem
BRi-B=Ri
7-3=4
Ri=4
Ri=4 C=6 B=3 R=2
NOOOWW!! The equation
BC+RB×RRi=??
(3+6)+(2+3)×(2+4)
9+5×6
BODMAS
Multiplication before addition
9+(5×6)
9+30
= 39
