80% of the lollipops in Packet V were cranberry lollipops and the rest were apple lollipops. Packet W had 30% more cranberry lollipops than Packet V and twice as many lollipops than the total number of lollipops in Packet V. Find the percentage of the apple lollipops in Packet W that would need to be transferred into Packet V, so that there were an equal number of cranberry and apple lollipops in Packet V.

80% =
80100 =
45 100 %+ 30% = 130%
Total number of lollipops in Packet V
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
Total number of lollipops in Packet W
= 2 x 5 u
= 10 u
Number of cranberry lollipops in Packet W
= 130% x 4 u
=
130100 x 4 u
= 5.2 u
Number of cranberry lollipops in Packet W
= 10 u - 5.2 u
= 4.8 u
Number of apple lollipops to be transferred from Packet W to Packet V
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
Percentage of lollipops to be transferred from Packet W
=
34.8 x 100%
= 62.5%
Answer(s): 62.5%
