Answer 15

I am thinking you can choose from 0 to 5 bananas so 6 choices
0 to 4 mangoes so 5 choices
0 to 4 almonds so 5 choices
6*5*5= 150
that includes the choice of 0 bananas, 0 mangoes , and 0 almonds
so 149 with "fruits" if almonds are fruits

Answer 16

if almonds are not fruits, this gives 150 - 5 (subtract off 0,0,0; 0,0,1; ...; 0,0,4)
for 145
