Answer:

6384

Explanation:

Since the question is only talking about fruit, I'm going to ignore which type and add the fruits together.

3+4+7+14=7+7+14=14*2=28

I have 28 fruits, and my friend give me 5 times that, so my friend gives me 5*28, or 140 fruits. So in all, I have 140 plus my original 28, or 168 all together

Then, my other friend gives me 75 times more. Wow. I don't think I've seen this many fruits all in one place, but this is the world of math, so who cares?

75*168=(70*168)+(5*168)=7000+4200+560+500+300+40=11760+840=

12600 fruits that your friend gives you. In addition to the 168 that you had before. Pardon my french, but why the ...

12600+168=12768 fruits at the height of your fruity domination.

Then, your friend takes half

12768/2=6384 fruits.
