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
