Answer:

B: a = p + 3

Explanation:

Since there are 3 more apples than pears, the number of apples per basket would be p + 3.

More obviously means addition, not multiplication, there aren't 3 more pears that apples (that's what option A means). (This is a second explanation using process of elimination)

Hope this helps!
