    There are 48 peaches, 144 pears, 96 plums and 72 apples.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since there's a total of 360 pieces of fruits and there are pears, apples, plums and peaches. We have:

    pears + apples + plums + peaches = 360 (1)

    Since there's twice as many pears as apples:

    pears = 2*apples (2)

    Since there's twice as many plums as peaches:

    plums = 2*peaches (3)

    Since theres 50% more apples than peaches:

    apples = 1.5*peaches (4)

    If we use the equation (4) in the equation (2) we have:

    pears = 2 * (1.5*peaches) = 3*peaches (5)

    If we use the equations (3), (4) and (5) on the equation (1), we have:

    (3*peaches) + 1.5*peaches + 2*peaches + peaches = 360

    7.5*peaches = 360

    peaches = 360/7.5 = 48

    From equation (5):

    pears = 3*48 = 144

    From equation (3):

    plums = 2*48 = 96

    From equation (4):

    apples = 1.5*48 = 72
