Part A)

30 more than two-fifths of the customers chose bananas.

We now we have "n" customers, two-fifths of the customers are


(2n)/(5)

If 30 more than two-fifths of the customers chose bananas, it would be


\text{bananas}=30+(2n)/(5)

10 fewer than one-fifth of the customers chose apples:

one-fifth of the customers are


(n)/(5)

Therefore we have:


\text{apples=}10-(n)/(5)

And the last one, oranges:

5 more than one-fifth of the customers chose oranges

One-fifth of the customers:


(n)/(5)

5 more than


\text{oranges}=5+(n)/(5)

Part B

To find the expression that represents it we must sum the bananas expression with the oranges expression, and then simplify it


\begin{gathered} \text{oranges + bananas = }30+(2n)/(5)+5+(n)/(5) \\ \\ \text{oranges + bananas = }35+(2n+n)/(5) \\ \\ \text{oranges + bananas = }35+(3n)/(5) \end{gathered}

The simplified expression is


\text{oranges + bananas = }35+(3n)/(5)
