Mark is looking to buy a total of 12 pieces of fruit at the store. He has already chosen 3 apples. He has also selected a bunch of bananas containing 4 bananas. How many oranges does he need to pick out to have 12 total pieces of fruit?
How many pieces of fruit does Mark have? ** He has 3 apples and 4 bananas, so he has 3 + 4 = <<3+4=7>>7 pieces of fruit.
How many oranges does Mark need to pick out to have 12 total pieces of fruit? ** He needs to buy 12 fruit - 7 fruit = <<12-7=5>>5 oranges.
