From the third row you can see that:

Heart + face = 77

Then look at row 4 - you should be able to get what triangle is then the rest follows.

I did it completely differently. If you compare column 1 and row 3 you get that a face is worth 12 more than a triangle. You can then compare columns 2 and 3.
