Solution

First, let's find out how many oranges and apples the farmer collected.

14% of 800 fruits are oranges. To find this, multiply 800 by 14% (or 0.14 in decimal form): 800 * 0.14 = 112 oranges

35% of 800 fruits are apples. To find this, multiply 800 by 35% (or 0.35 in decimal form): 800 * 0.35 = 280 apples

Now, to find out how many pears the farmer collected, subtract the number of oranges and apples from the total number of fruits: 800 (total fruits) - 112 (oranges) - 280 (apples) = 408 pears

So, the farmer collected 408 pears.
