40 --> 56 --> 60
which gvies as ratio of 60-56: 56-40 apples to oranges, which is 4:16, or 2:8, so we have 8 oranges since she bought 10 pieces, 2:8
Then we know we want to have the ratio of
40 --> 52 --> 60
60-52: 52-40 which is 8:12 or 4:6 or 2:3 but we have 2:8 so we see, we just need to remove the 5 oranges to get to 2:3, since apples are fixed we anchor the 2

Hello,
At a certain fruit stand, the price of each apple is 40 cents and the price of each orange is 60 cents. Mary selects a total of 10 apples and oranges from the fruit stand, and the average (arithmetic mean) price of the 10 pieces of fruit is 56 cents. How many oranges must Mary put back so that the average price of the pieces of fruit that she keeps is 52 cents?
This can be solve through allegation as well
40 60
56
4 16
so the ratio will be 1:4
so apple will be 2 and oranges will be 8
40 60
52
8 12
so ratio will be 2:3
so we already have 2 apples so oranges should be 3
so she has keep back (8-3) =5 oranges
Answer is E
