The question is asking you to find teh value of x
St 1: total income from fruits and vegetables = $16,000
16,000=x%*100,000
x=16---SUFF
St 2: x=2y
x+y+40+28+8=100
2y+y+76=100
y=8
x=16--------SUFF
Hence answer is D

Agreed, D.
We know from the image that total sales are 100,000. If 16,000 are fruits and veggies, 16,000/100,000 = 16%
if x = 2y and x + y + 40 + 28 + 8 = 100, substitute for x and solve for y:
2y + y + 40 + 28 + 8 = 100
3y + 40 + 28 + 8 = 100
3y + 76 = 100
3y = 24
y = 8
x = 16
