Answers
You can solve sequentially as follows:
O=orange,B=banana,A=apple,P=pear
"There are 3 bananas."
B=3
"Eight pieces are either oranges or bananas"
O+B=8
O=?
"one more orange than apples"
O-A=1
A=?
"twice as many apples as pears"
A=2P
P=?
O=orange,B=banana,A=apple,P=pear
"There are 3 bananas."
B=3
"Eight pieces are either oranges or bananas"
O+B=8
O=?
"one more orange than apples"
O-A=1
A=?
"twice as many apples as pears"
A=2P
P=?
Since they say there is three bananas, and 5+3= 8, there are 5 oranges. 5-1=4, so there are 4 apples. 4 times 2 = 8 so there are 8 pears. Answer: 8 pears
In your equation, you said A=2P. If there are 4 apples then, pear is half of the apples therefore 4/2 =2. The answer should be 2 pears?
