PLEASE HELP!!

Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of pineapple to tomato to cherry is 3 to 5 to 4.

That means for some number x,

we have 3x pineapple, 5x tomato, and 4x cherry.

We are asked to find the total number which is 3x+5x+4x which is equal to 12x.

We are given that there are 80 tomato and we also have 5x tomato. These two expressions are therefore equal and we need to solve 80=5x which leads to x=80/5=16.

So the total amount is 12x=12(16)=192.
