Adding fruit.?

You have 6 apples. You have 6 more bananas than you have apples.

You have 4 less peaches than you have bananas. You have four times the number of grapes than you have peaches. You have 1 whole coconut. You have 1 whole pineapple. You have 4 tomatoes. And you have 100 peanuts in their shell.

How many fruits do you have?

Update:

Keep guessing. and yes, peanuts are a fruit.

I am considering tomato as a fruit also.

Update 2:

a whole coconut is considered a fruit.

Update 3:

PASCAL is the closest so far

Update 4:

    apples

    bananas

    peaches

    grapes

    coconut

    pineapple

    tomatoes

    peanuts

    If each of those is a "fruit", then you have eight (8) fruits.

    note: you did not ask how many pieces of truit

    6 apples, 12 bananas, 8 peaches, 32 grapes, 1 coconut, 1 pineapple, and 4 tomatoes. Peanuts aren't fruit. So you have 60/64 fruits, depending on whether or not you think a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable.

    Ok fine, 59/63.

    You have:

    6 apples

    12 bananas

    8 peaches

    32 grapes

    1 coconut

    1 pineapple

    4 tomatoes

    100 peanuts

    Therefore you have a total of 164 fruits.

    To the others: yes, nuts are fruits (1), although strictly speaking a peanut is not a nut (2) but a legume (3). The tomato is also a fruit (technically, a berry) (4). No, they are not usually considered as such for culinary purposes, but given the responses, I surmise that the questioner was asking in a strictly botanical sense. The botanical definition of a fruit can be found at (5)

    6 + (6 +6) + [(6 + 6) - 4] + [(6 + 6) - 4] x 4 + 1 + 4 = total # fruits.

    The coconut & peanut are not fruit.

    The tomato is a fruit.

    Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Therefore as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

    A tomato is a fruit according to what I have read. Peanuts are not.

    6 + 12 + 8 + (4 * 8) + 1

    Coconut is not a fruit

    Peanut is not a fruit
