Lets take that the sold in the morning pears are x kg, then in the afternoon are sold 2x kg. Their sum x + 2x = 3x kg is the whole quantity sold pears, 360 kg. So we get the following equation

3x = 360 <=> x = 360/3 <=> x = 120

Therefore in the morning they sold 120 kg pears, and in the afternoon 2.120 = 240 kg.
