figure it out lol
To find out how many pieces of fruit Tomas bought, we need to add up the number of apples, melons, and oranges.
We are given that Tomas bought 11 apples. So, we can start by adding 11 to our total count.
Next, we are told that he bought twice as many melons as apples. Since he bought 11 apples, he bought 2 * 11 = 22 melons.
Finally, we are told that he bought 12 more melons than oranges. Let's call the number of oranges O. So, Tomas bought O + 12 melons.
Since we know that he bought 22 melons, we can set up an equation: O + 12 = 22.
To solve for O, we subtract 12 from both sides: O = 22 - 12 = 10.
So, Tomas bought 10 oranges.
Now, to find the total number of pieces of fruit, we add up the count of apples, melons, and oranges: 11 apples + 22 melons + 10 oranges = 43 pieces of fruit.
Therefore, Tomas bought 43 pieces of fruit.
