Answer:

Number of pineapples= 10

number of pears = 19

number of kiwis = 10 -2 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a pear = $ 0.50

Cost of a pineapple = $ 1.5

cost of a kiwi = $ 0.3

Let the pineapples = p

Number of pears = 9 + p

Number of kiwis = p - 2

The cost is

0.15 p + 0.5 (9 + p) + 0.3 (p - 2) = 13.50

0.15 p + 4.5 + 0.5p + 0.3 p - 0.6 = 13.50

0.95 p = 9.6

p = 10
