Answer: Choice A) 2 oranges, 5 apples, 13 pears

=============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

10% in decimal form is 0.10

25% in decimal form is 0.25

The jump from 0.10 to 0.25 is "times 2.5" since (0.25)/(0.10) = 2.5

This means that we have 2.5 times as many apples compared to oranges.

If we have 2 oranges, as mentioned in every answer choice, then we must have 2*2.5 = 5 apples.

Based on this, the answer is either A or B.

----------------

65% turns into 0.65

The jump from 0.10 to 0.65 is 6.5 since (0.65)/(0.10) = 6.5

So we have 6.5 times as many pears as oranges.

If we had 2 oranges, then we have 2*6.5 = 13 pears

----------------

To summarize, we have:

2 oranges, 5 apples, 13 pears.

The answer is therefore choice A
