Janice's Fruit Problem Solving

The video tutorial explains a problem where Janice has three times as many apples as oranges. After giving away 12 apples, she has 32 pieces of fruit left. By working backwards, we determine she originally had 44 pieces of fruit. Through trial and error, we find that Janice has 11 oranges and 33 apples, as 33 apples plus 11 oranges equals 44 pieces of fruit.
