I am assuming that you meant you gathered 1.5 times more apples than he did. You can setup an equation to represent the situation.
Let 'k' be our unknown variable.
You friend gathered k apples.
You gathered 1.5 more than he did, so you gathered 1.5*k apples.
The total amount gathered is 75.
Setup up equation: k + 1.5k = 75. Solve for k, which is 30.
So your friend collected 30 apples and you collected 45 apples.
