2.5 pounds of x amount of fruit, first you need to find how many types of fruit he bought. Next your equation should look like (2.5•x=z) x is a place holder and it stands for all the types of fruit. Z would be the answer you get in the end. If you give me more information like how many fruits he bought I would be able to give you the answer.

Step-by-step explanation: First you need to find the amount it costs for 2.5 pounds of all types of fruit.

your equation should be something like this

5 + 6 + 3 + 9 = 23

But the numbers will be the fruit prices shown in your question.

I think you are not providing the correct information for me to finish your question.
