There are 16 fruits in each of the boxes found under the stairs.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of pears, hence:

Number of fruit in first box = 12 + (1/9)x

Number of fruit in second box = number of fruit in third box = (8/9)x ÷ 2 = (4/9)x

Therefore:

12 + (1/9)x = (4/9)x

x = 36

First box = second box = third box = (4/9) * 36 = 16

There are 16 fruits in each of the boxes found under the stairs.
