      Well technically it would be, if you weren’t just basing a problem on this scenario, where you wanted a person to solve for the number of fruit. If you’re actually in this scenario, and not just writing a problem about it, then you could just count the fruit.

        why count the fruit when i could simply write a math textbook, include this as one of the problems, and then have students calculate it for me instead
