Explanation: Let’s find out the amount of trees Mr Champion has. He has 14 in total. 1 apple tree and 1 plum tree, and the rest are divided evenly among apricot, pear and peach trees. This means: 1 apple tree + 1 plum tree = 2 trees 14 - 2 = 12 trees 12 / 3 (varieties of trees) = 4 In conclusion, he has 1 apple tree, 1 plum tree, 4 apricot, pear and peach trees.
Now let’s go to the section where he picks the fruit. 6 apricots from 4 trees 10 peaches from 4 trees 3 pears from 4 trees 4 apples from 1 tree
This means: (6 x 4) + (10 x 4) + (3 x 4) + (4 x 1) = total pieces of fruit picked
24 + 40 + 12 + 4 = total pieces of fruit picked
Now, you add up those four numbers, and you have your answer, 80.
