Find the price of each group of fruit

12 apples * $2 per apple = $<<12*2=24>>24

4 bananas * $1 per banana = $<<4*1=4>>4

3 oranges * $4 per orange = $<<3*4=12>>12 $24 + $4 + $12 = $<<24+4+12=40>>40 in total that was spent

12 + 4 + 4 = <<12+4+4=20>>20 total fruits bought $40 / 20 fruits = $<<40/20=2>>2 per fruit
