The average number of passion fruits in Container M, Container N and Container P is 65 and it is 5 more than the average number of chikoos in the 3 containers.
15 of the chikoos are in Container M and the chikoos in Container M is 80% of the number of chikoos in Container N. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container P are passion fruits?
Average number of chikoos
= 65 - 5
= 60
Total number of chikoos
= 3 x 60
= 180
Total number of passion fruits
= 3 x 65
= 195
Total number of fruits
= 180 + 195
= 375
Number of fruits in each container
= 375 ÷ 3
= 125

45The number of chikoos in Container M is repeated. Make the number of chikoos in Container M the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
Total number of chikoos
= 4 u + 5 u + 11 u
= 20 u
20 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 20 = 9
Number of chikoos in Container P
= 11 u
= 11 x 9
= 99
Number of passion fruits in Container P
= 125 - 99
= 26
Percentage of the fruits in Container P are passion fruits
=
26125 x 100%
= 20.8%
Answer(s): 20.8%
