Let the apples be 'A' pence per lb
Bananas cost: (A-30) pence per lb
Cherries cost: (A+72) pence per lb
Cost of 2 lb of apples = 2A
Cost of 3 lb of bananas = 3(A-30)
Cost of 2 lb of cherries = 2(A+72)
But: 2A+3(A-30) = 2(A+72)
So: 2A+3A-90 = 2A+144 => 3A = 234 => A = 78
Therefore cherries cost: 78+72 = 150 pence per lb

It is 4 pence: an unlikely price in 2017!
In 1977, the price of apples varied depending on the region and market conditions, but on average, a dozen apples cost around $0.60 to $1.00. This means that the price for 6 apples would have been approximately $0.30 to $0.50. Prices could fluctuate based on factors such as seasonality and supply.
2.00 divided by 12 means that the apples cost 0.1666 recurring each. So if you then multiply that by 50, you find that 50 apples cost 8.333 recurring.
