80% of the caramel apples in Packet N were strawberry caramel apples and the rest were cheese caramel apples. Packet P had 30% more strawberry caramel apples than Packet N and twice as many caramel apples than the total number of caramel apples in Packet N. Find the percentage of the cheese caramel apples in Packet P that would need to be transferred into Packet N, so that there were an equal number of strawberry and cheese caramel apples in Packet N.

80% =
80100 =
45 100 %+ 30% = 130%
Total number of caramel apples in Packet N
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
Total number of caramel apples in Packet P
= 2 x 5 u
= 10 u
Number of strawberry caramel apples in Packet P
= 130% x 4 u
=
130100 x 4 u
= 5.2 u
Number of strawberry caramel apples in Packet P
= 10 u - 5.2 u
= 4.8 u
Number of cheese caramel apples to be transferred from Packet P to Packet N
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
Percentage of caramel apples to be transferred from Packet P
=
34.8 x 100%
= 62.5%
Answer(s): 62.5%
