Question 17
At the fruit market in Kangcity, fruit can be exchanged: 4 apples for 3 oranges or for 2 bananas, in either direction. Fruit cannot be cut up. Ben’s garden grows only apples, and he has harvested many. He wants to exchange some apples so that he can prepare 5 gift baskets, each containing oranges, apples and bananas. Each basket must have the same total number of pieces of fruit. What is the least number of apples he needs?
