The average number of chikoos in Container V, Container W and Container X is 31 and it is 10 more than the average number of persimmons in the 3 containers.
17 of the persimmons are in Container V and the persimmons in Container V is 60% of the number of persimmons in Container W. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container X are chikoos?
Average number of persimmons
= 31 - 10
= 21
Total number of persimmons
= 3 x 21
= 63
Total number of chikoos
= 3 x 31
= 93
Total number of fruits
= 63 + 93
= 156
Number of fruits in each container
= 156 ÷ 3
= 52

35The number of persimmons in Container V is repeated. Make the number of persimmons in Container V the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of persimmons
= 3 u + 5 u + 13 u
= 21 u
21 u = 63
1 u = 63 ÷ 21 = 3
Number of persimmons in Container X
= 13 u
= 13 x 3
= 39
Number of chikoos in Container X
= 52 - 39
= 13
Percentage of the fruits in Container X are chikoos
=
1352 x 100%
= 25%
Answer(s): 25%
