let x represent the number of apples and y represent the number of oranges.
TOTAL: x + y = 112
y = 112 - x
PEELED: 

3x = 4y
3x = 4(112 - x)
3x = 448 - 4x
7x = 448
x = 64
y = 112 - x
= 112 - 64
= 48
a) There are 64 apples and 48 oranges
Peeled apples:
= 3(8) = 24
Unpeeled apples: 64 - 24 = 40
Unpeeled - Peeled: 40 - 24 - 16
b) there are 16 more unpeeled apples than peeled apples
The answer is A, the first one :)
Assume Josh made X cupcakes; Alice made Y cupcakes; Tom made Z cupcakes.
Josh made 10 more cakes than Alice so,
X = Y + 10 ---- 1st Eqn.
Alice made 8 more than Tom so,
Y= Z+8 --- 2nd Eqn.
Total cakes = 62 so,
X+Y+Z = 62 ---- 3rd Eqn.
by solving three equations we get X= 30; Y= 20; Z=12.
So Tom made 12 cupcakes
