The average number of pears in Container V, Container W and Container X is 31 and it is 7 more than the average number of pomegranates in the 3 containers. ¹₉ of the pomegranates are in Container V and the pomegranates in Container V is 40% of the number of pomegranates in Container W. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container X are pears?
Average number of pomegranates
= 31 - 7
= 24

Total number of pomegranates
= 3 x 24
= 72

Total number of pears
= 3 x 31 
= 93

Total number of fruits
= 72 + 93
= 165

Number of fruits in each container
= 165 ÷ 3
= 55

Pomegranates in Container V	Pomegranates in Container W	Pomegranates in Container X	Total pomegranates
1x2	8x2		9x2
2x1	5x1
2 u	5 u	11 u	18 u

40% = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ = ²₅

The number of pomegranates in Container V is repeated.  Make the number of pomegranates in Container V the same.  LCM of 1 and 2 is 2. 

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

18 u = 72

1 u = 72 ÷ 18 = 4

Number of pomegranates in Container X
= 11 u
= 11 x 4
= 44

Number of pears in Container X
= 55 - 44
= 11

Percentage of the fruits in Container X are pears
= ¹¹₅₅ x 100%
= 20%

Answer(s): 20%
