You have 6 apples. You have 6 more bananas than you have apples.
You have 4 less peaches than you have bananas. You have four times the number of grapes than you have peaches. You have 1 whole coconut. You have 1 whole pineapple. You have 4 tomatoes. And you have 100 peanuts in their shell.
How many fruits do you have?

apples
bananas
peaches
grapes
coconut
pineapple
tomatoes
peanuts
If each of those is a "fruit", then you have eight (8) fruits.
note: you did not ask how many pieces of truit

6 apples, 12 bananas, 8 peaches, 32 grapes, 1 coconut, 1 pineapple, and 4 tomatoes. Peanuts aren't fruit. So you have 60/64 fruits, depending on whether or not you think a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable.
Ok fine, 59/63.

You have:
6 apples
12 bananas
8 peaches
32 grapes
1 coconut
1 pineapple
4 tomatoes
100 peanuts
Therefore you have a total of 164 fruits.
To the others: yes, nuts are fruits (1), although strictly speaking a peanut is not a nut (2) but a legume (3). The tomato is also a fruit (technically, a berry) (4). No, they are not usually considered as such for culinary purposes, but given the responses, I surmise that the questioner was asking in a strictly botanical sense. The botanical definition of a fruit can be found at (5)

6 + (6 +6) + [(6 + 6) - 4] + [(6 + 6) - 4] x 4 + 1 + 4 = total # fruits.
The coconut & peanut are not fruit.
The tomato is a fruit.

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Therefore as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

A tomato is a fruit according to what I have read. Peanuts are not.
