Tomas bought some fruit **f** at the market.

He bought twice as many melons **m** as apples **a**:  so m = 2a.

He bought 12 more melons **m**  than oranges **o**: so m = o + 12.

He bought 11 apples **a**: so a = 11.

And: f = m + a + o

How many pieces of fruit **f** did Tomas buy?

sillybilly123 · Answer

a = 11
m = 2a = 22
m = o + 12 so o = 10

and f = m + a + o
