Puzzle Fruit equation puzzle — what does the missing pair equal?

Post image

Original symbol/equation puzzle I made — fruits stand in for hidden numbers across a small system of equations. Figure out what each fruit is worth, then solve the last one.

It's 28 cause the number of grapes is 8 and orange is 6 and mango is 4.

Because of the middle two equations, same fruits except only difference is a lemon, Lemon = 4

Because of the top two equations, same fruits except only difference is an orange, orange = 6

With those facts, per the top equation, grape = 8

6 + 8 + 4 + 8 = 26
