I got a black bag with 3 green apples, 5 yellow apples, 7 green pears, and 2 yellow pears. Filecio randomly grabs the fruits one by one. How many fruits does Filecio have to grab for be sure that he got 1 apple and 1 pear with the same color?

7 green pears + 5 yellow apples = 12 fruits in total

So your answer would be 12 but we have a problem because none of the pears are the same color as the apples. We can fix this by simply adding one.

1 + 12 = 13

So your answer will be 13.

Hope this helped. Have a great day!
