P- pineapple
p-pear
m-mango
a-apple

a=4*m
p=2*a
P=m

8 Pineapples.....8 mangos
a=4*m= 4*8=32 apples
p=2*a=2*32=64 pears

As per linear equation, they used a total of 112 fruits.

What is a linear equation?

"A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. It is also known as a one-degree equation."

Given, they use four apples for every mango.

They use two pears for every apple, and one pineapple for every mango.

They used 8 pineapples in their most recent batch.

Therefore, number of mangoes used is = number of pineapples = 8.

Therefore, number of apples used is [tex]= 4[/tex] ×number of mangoes [tex]= (4)(8) = 32[/tex]

Therefore, number of pears used is [tex]= 2[/tex] ×number of apples [tex]= (2)(32) = 64[/tex]
