The average number of pomegranates in Container Q, Container R and Container S is 55 and it is 6 more than the average number of kiwis in the 3 containers. ¹₇ of the kiwis are in Container Q and the kiwis in Container Q is 60% of the number of kiwis in Container R. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container S are pomegranates?
Average number of kiwis
= 55 - 6
= 49

Total number of kiwis
= 3 x 49
= 147

Total number of pomegranates
= 3 x 55 
= 165

Total number of fruits
= 147 + 165
= 312

Number of fruits in each container
= 312 ÷ 3
= 104

Kiwis in Container Q	Kiwis in Container R	Kiwis in Container S	Total kiwis
1x3	6x3		7x3
3x1	5x1
3 u	5 u	13 u	21 u

60% = ⁶⁰₁₀₀ = ³₅

The number of kiwis in Container Q is repeated.  Make the number of kiwis in Container Q the same.  LCM of 1 and 3 is 3. 

Total number of kiwis
= 3 u + 5 u + 13 u
= 21 u

21 u = 147

1 u = 147 ÷ 21 = 7

Number of kiwis in Container S
= 13 u
= 13 x 7
= 91

Number of pomegranates in Container S
= 104 - 91
= 13

Percentage of the fruits in Container S are pomegranates
= ¹³₁₀₄ x 100%
= 12.5%

Answer(s): 12.5%
