The average number of passion fruits in Container B, Container C and Container D is 15 and it is 5 more than the average number of chikoos in the 3 containers.
15 of the chikoos are in Container B and the chikoos in Container B is 40% of the number of chikoos in Container C. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container D are passion fruits?
Average number of chikoos
= 15 - 5
= 10
Total number of chikoos
= 3 x 10
= 30
Total number of passion fruits
= 3 x 15
= 45
Total number of fruits
= 30 + 45
= 75
Number of fruits in each container
= 75 ÷ 3
= 25

25The number of chikoos in Container B is repeated. Make the number of chikoos in Container B the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of chikoos
= 2 u + 5 u + 3 u
= 10 u
10 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 10 = 3
Number of chikoos in Container D
= 3 u
= 3 x 3
= 9
Number of passion fruits in Container D
= 25 - 9
= 16
Percentage of the fruits in Container D are passion fruits
=
1625 x 100%
= 64%
Answer(s): 64%
