The average number of pomegranates in Container N, Container P and Container Q is 26 and it is 8 more than the average number of mangoes in the 3 containers. ¹₉ of the mangoes are in Container N and the mangoes in Container N is 40% of the number of mangoes in Container P. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container Q are pomegranates?
Average number of mangoes
= 26 - 8
= 18

Total number of mangoes
= 3 x 18
= 54

Total number of pomegranates
= 3 x 26 
= 78

Total number of fruits
= 54 + 78
= 132

Number of fruits in each container
= 132 ÷ 3
= 44

Mangoes in Container N	Mangoes in Container P	Mangoes in Container Q	Total mangoes
1x2	8x2		9x2
2x1	5x1
2 u	5 u	11 u	18 u

40% = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ = ²₅

The number of mangoes in Container N is repeated.  Make the number of mangoes in Container N the same.  LCM of 1 and 2 is 2. 

Total number of mangoes
= 2 u + 5 u + 11 u
= 18 u

18 u = 54

1 u = 54 ÷ 18 = 3

Number of mangoes in Container Q
= 11 u
= 11 x 3
= 33

Number of pomegranates in Container Q
= 44 - 33
= 11

Percentage of the fruits in Container Q are pomegranates
= ¹¹₄₄ x 100%
= 25%

Answer(s): 25%
