There were some pomegranates, apples and passion fruits. The number of pomegranates was two times the number of apples. The total number of pomegranates and apples was one-quarter of the number of passion fruits. There were 150 fruits altogether. All the passion fruits were sold at 5 for $12. How much money was collected from the sale of the passion fruits?
Number of apples = 1 u
Number of pomegranates = 2 u

Total number of apples and pomegranates
= 1 u + 2 u
= 3 u

Number of passion fruits
= 4 x 3 u
= 12 u

Total number of fruits
= 1 u + 2 u + 12 u
= 15 u

15 u = 150

1 u = 150 ÷ 15 = 10

Number of passion fruits sold
= 12 u
= 12 x 10
= 120

Number of sets of 5 passion fruits
= 120 ÷ 5
= 24

Amount collected from the sale of passion fruits
= 24 x 12
= $288

Answer(s): $288
