The average number of persimmons in Container V, Container W and Container X is 26 and it is 2 more than the average number of chikoos in the 3 containers.
16 of the chikoos are in Container V and the chikoos in Container V is 30% of the number of chikoos in Container W. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container X are persimmons?
Average number of chikoos
= 26 - 2
= 24
Total number of chikoos
= 3 x 24
= 72
Total number of persimmons
= 3 x 26
= 78
Total number of fruits
= 72 + 78
= 150
Number of fruits in each container
= 150 ÷ 3
= 50

310The number of chikoos in Container V is repeated. Make the number of chikoos in Container V the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of chikoos
= 3 u + 10 u + 5 u
= 18 u
18 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 18 = 4
Number of chikoos in Container X
= 5 u
= 5 x 4
= 20
Number of persimmons in Container X
= 50 - 20
= 30
Percentage of the fruits in Container X are persimmons
=
3050 x 100%
= 60%
Answer(s): 60%
