In a basket there are only apples, oranges, bananas, and pears.
A piece of fruit is taken at random from the basket.
The table shows the probabilities that the fruit will be an apple or will be a pear.
| Fruit | Apple | Orange | Banana | Pear |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Probability | 0.35 | 0.05 |
The probability that the fruit will be a banana is twice the probability that the fruit will be an orange.
There are 12 pears in the basket.
Work out the number of bananas in the basket.
