The average number of apples in Container U, Container V and Container W is 30 and it is 10 more than the average number of pears in the 3 containers. ¹₃ of the pears are in Container U and the pears in Container U is 80% of the number of pears in Container V. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container W are apples?
Average number of pears
= 30 - 10
= 20

Total number of pears
= 3 x 20
= 60

Total number of apples
= 3 x 30 
= 90

Total number of fruits
= 60 + 90
= 150

Number of fruits in each container
= 150 ÷ 3
= 50

Pears in Container U	Pears in Container V	Pears in Container W	Total pears
1x4	2x4		3x4
4x1	5x1
4 u	5 u	3 u	12 u

80% = ⁸⁰₁₀₀ = ⁴₅

The number of pears in Container U is repeated.  Make the number of pears in Container U the same.  LCM of 1 and 4 is 4. 

Total number of pears
= 4 u + 5 u + 3 u
= 12 u

12 u = 60

1 u = 60 ÷ 12 = 5

Number of pears in Container W
= 3 u
= 3 x 5
= 15

Number of apples in Container W
= 50 - 15
= 35

Percentage of the fruits in Container W are apples
= ³⁵₅₀ x 100%
= 70%

Answer(s): 70%
