A group of 4 fruit baskets contains 9 apples, 15 oranges, and 14 bananas in the first three baskets and 2 less of each fruit in the fourth basket. How many fruits are there?
For the first three baskets, the number of apples and oranges in one basket is 9+15=<T>add(9, 15)=24
In total, together with bananas, the number of fruits in one basket is 24+14=<T>add(24, 14)=38 for the first three baskets.
Since there are three baskets each having 38 fruits, there are 3*38=<T>multiply(3, 38)=114 fruits in the first three baskets.
The number of apples in the fourth basket is 9-2=<T>subtract(9, 2)=7
There are also 15-2=<T>subtract(15, 2)=13 oranges in the fourth basket
The combined number of oranges and apples in the fourth basket is 13+7=<T>add(13, 7)=20
The fourth basket also contains 14-2=<T>subtract(14, 2)=12 bananas.
In total, the fourth basket has 20+12=<T>add(20, 12)=32 fruits.
The four baskets together have 32+114=<T>add(32, 114)=146 fruits.
