That. If two half coconuts count as 2, by logic the single half coconut counts as 1, then it is 15.

If the single half coconut counts as 2 then it is 16.

ETA: Just seen the 3 vs 4 bananas thing.

That makes it 14.

I'm revising my answer too this.

Only one half coconut and 3 bananas on the last line. 14!

Apple = 10
Banana = 1
Half coconut = 1

Answer = 1/2 coconut ( 1pt) + 1 apple (10 pts) + 3 bananas (3pts) = 14

It is if you don't take into account that half of a coconut and one banana is missing on the last line.

If you do, it's 14.

Not enough information in the examples to be able to give a definitive answer.

It's not clear if the number of each object is as relevant as the type.

If number is not relevant, it's 16.
If number of all is relevant, it's 14.
If number of one is not relevant, it could be 15.
