The average number of apples in Container B, Container C and Container D is 25 and it is 5 more than the average number of mangoes in the 3 containers.
15 of the mangoes are in Container B and the mangoes in Container B is 40% of the number of mangoes in Container C. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container D are apples?
Average number of mangoes
= 25 - 5
= 20
Total number of mangoes
= 3 x 20
= 60
Total number of apples
= 3 x 25
= 75
Total number of fruits
= 60 + 75
= 135
Number of fruits in each container
= 135 ÷ 3
= 45

25The number of mangoes in Container B is repeated. Make the number of mangoes in Container B the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of mangoes
= 2 u + 5 u + 3 u
= 10 u
10 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 10 = 6
Number of mangoes in Container D
= 3 u
= 3 x 6
= 18
Number of apples in Container D
= 45 - 18
= 27
Percentage of the fruits in Container D are apples
=
2745 x 100%
= 60%
Answer(s): 60%
