Question 1083273: Your leadership class is helping organize the Terry Fox run for students at an elementary school. The leadership students plan on giving an apple or an orange to each student who participates. There are 324 students at the elementary school. The cafeteria staff at the elementary school said apples are at least twice as popular as oranges because they do not need to be peeled. HELP!!

I assume the number of apples and oranges needed is what is desired.
oranges=x
apples=2x
they add to 324
3x=324
x=108 oranges
2x=216 apples
