Well this is a hard question to answer, but this is how i would put it.
You would take a number (lets use 15) and the second number (lets use 5) would determine how many times it would go into 15. In other words, 5 time x would equal 15 (5x=15). 5, being a factor of 15, would evenly fit into 15 three times.
Start by defining your variables
let x be the mass of a single mango in gm
let y be the mass of a single orange in gm
now, write the question as a system of equations
3 mango and 2 orange have a mass of 200 gm
3x +2y = 200
4 mango and 4 orange have a mass of 300 gm
4x +4y = 300
now you have a system of equations
3x+2y =200
4x+4y =300
solve for x and y
Parallel because they have the same slope
