29 more apples than oranges were sold.

The table shows the total number of apples sold and the total number of oranges sold in a shop in each of three weeks.

In week 1, 86 apples and 68 oranges were sold.

In week 2, 75 apples and 80 oranges were sold.

In week 3, 92 apples and 76 oranges were sold.

So, in three weeks

Number of apples = 86+75+92=253

Number of oranges=68+80+76

In total, 253 apples and 224 oranges were sold. So,

253-224=29

Therefore, 29 more apples than oranges were sold.
