The average number of passion fruits in Container V, Container W and Container X is 32 and it is 4 more than the average number of apples in the 3 containers.
13 of the apples are in Container V and the apples in Container V is 80% of the number of apples in Container W. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container X are passion fruits?
Average number of apples
= 32 - 4
= 28
Total number of apples
= 3 x 28
= 84
Total number of passion fruits
= 3 x 32
= 96
Total number of fruits
= 84 + 96
= 180
Number of fruits in each container
= 180 ÷ 3
= 60

45The number of apples in Container V is repeated. Make the number of apples in Container V the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
Total number of apples
= 4 u + 5 u + 3 u
= 12 u
12 u = 84
1 u = 84 ÷ 12 = 7
Number of apples in Container X
= 3 u
= 3 x 7
= 21
Number of passion fruits in Container X
= 60 - 21
= 39
Percentage of the fruits in Container X are passion fruits
=
3960 x 100%
= 65%
Answer(s): 65%
