The average number of oranges in Container B, Container C and Container D is 40 and it is 10 more than the average number of apples in the 3 containers.
15 of the apples are in Container B and the apples in Container B is 60% of the number of apples in Container C. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container D are oranges?
Average number of apples
= 40 - 10
= 30
Total number of apples
= 3 x 30
= 90
Total number of oranges
= 3 x 40
= 120
Total number of fruits
= 90 + 120
= 210
Number of fruits in each container
= 210 ÷ 3
= 70

35The number of apples in Container B is repeated. Make the number of apples in Container B the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of apples
= 3 u + 5 u + 7 u
= 15 u
15 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 15 = 6
Number of apples in Container D
= 7 u
= 7 x 6
= 42
Number of oranges in Container D
= 70 - 42
= 28
Percentage of the fruits in Container D are oranges
=
2870 x 100%
= 40%
Answer(s): 40%
