15p per apple

2P + 1M = £1.35 (Formula 1)

1P + 2M = £1.20 (Formula 2)

1P + 1M + 1A = £1.00 (Formula 3)

 

Take:

4P + 2M = £2.70 (Formula 1 * 2)

1P + 2M = £1.20

Therefore, difference is £1.50 and 3P so each pear costs 50p

 

If each pear costs 50p, then substituting into formula 1 gives:

£1.00 (2P) + 1M = £1.35

IM = £1.35 – £1.00

1 Mango = 35p

Therefore, given this:

1P + 1M + 1A = £1.00

50p + 35p + 1A = £1.00

1 Apple = 15p
