The average number of passion fruits in Container L, Container M and Container N is 29 and it is 2 more than the average number of kiwis in the 3 containers.
19 of the kiwis are in Container L and the kiwis in Container L is 30% of the number of kiwis in Container M. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container N are passion fruits?
Average number of kiwis
= 29 - 2
= 27
Total number of kiwis
= 3 x 27
= 81
Total number of passion fruits
= 3 x 29
= 87
Total number of fruits
= 81 + 87
= 168
Number of fruits in each container
= 168 ÷ 3
= 56

310The number of kiwis in Container L is repeated. Make the number of kiwis in Container L the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of kiwis
= 3 u + 10 u + 14 u
= 27 u
27 u = 81
1 u = 81 ÷ 27 = 3
Number of kiwis in Container N
= 14 u
= 14 x 3
= 42
Number of passion fruits in Container N
= 56 - 42
= 14
Percentage of the fruits in Container N are passion fruits
=
1456 x 100%
= 25%
Answer(s): 25%
