Question

A fruit stand carries apples, oranges, lemons, and pears. There are twice as many apples as oranges and 3 times as many lemons as pears. If there are 3 more oranges than pears, and p represents the number of pears, which of the following expressions represents the total number of fruits at the fruit stand?
3P
5P-5
5P
6P-1
7P+9

Answer 1

A=2O
L=3P
O-P=3

A+O+L+P
=2O+O+3P+P
=2(P+3)+(P+3)+3P+P
=2P+P+3P+P + 2*3+3
=?

Answer 2

7P+9
