The average number of chikoos in Box J, Box K and Box L is 25 and it is 10 more than the average number of pomegranates in the 3 boxes.
15 of the pomegranates are in Box J and the pomegranates in Box J is 30% of the number of pomegranates in Box K. If each box has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Box L are chikoos?
Average number of pomegranates
= 25 - 10
= 15
Total number of pomegranates
= 3 x 15
= 45
Total number of chikoos
= 3 x 25
= 75
Total number of fruits
= 45 + 75
= 120
Number of fruits in each box
= 120 ÷ 3
= 40

310The number of pomegranates in Box J is repeated. Make the number of pomegranates in Box J the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of pomegranates
= 3 u + 10 u + 2 u
= 15 u
15 u = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 15 = 3
Number of pomegranates in Box L
= 2 u
= 2 x 3
= 6
Number of chikoos in Box L
= 40 - 6
= 34
Percentage of the fruits in Box L are chikoos
=
3440 x 100%
= 85%
Answer(s): 85%
