What you get when you add all of the decimals?
After you post that answer, I'll help you with the rest of the problem.
At the market, 0.2 of the pieces of fruit are peaches, 0.25 is apples, 0.05 is lemons, 0.1 is cherries, 0.2 is grapes, and 0.15 is plums. There are also 8 pineapples and 4 mangos. How many peaches are for sale at the market? How many apples? Lemons? Plums?

0.95
Right.
0.95x + 8 + 4 = x
12 = 0.05x
12/0.05 = x
240 = x
peaches = 0.2 * 240 = 48
apples = 0.25 * 240 = 60
etc., etc.
