But there would only be one variable to examine, since there is only one type of fruit in this vehicle.

what would be far more horrifying is if the amount of fruit in the car was constant

Well technically it would be, if you weren’t just basing a problem on this scenario, where you wanted a person to solve for the number of fruit. If you’re actually in this scenario, and not just writing a problem about it, then you could just count the fruit.

why count the fruit when i could simply write a math textbook, include this as one of the problems, and then have students calculate it for me instead
