The average number of passion fruits in Container H, Container J and Container K is 15 and it is 5 more than the average number of apples in the 3 containers.
15 of the apples are in Container H and the apples in Container H is 60% of the number of apples in Container J. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container K are passion fruits?
Average number of apples
= 15 - 5
= 10
Total number of apples
= 3 x 10
= 30
Total number of passion fruits
= 3 x 15
= 45
Total number of fruits
= 30 + 45
= 75
Number of fruits in each container
= 75 ÷ 3
= 25

35The number of apples in Container H is repeated. Make the number of apples in Container H the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of apples
= 3 u + 5 u + 7 u
= 15 u
15 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 15 = 2
Number of apples in Container K
= 7 u
= 7 x 2
= 14
Number of passion fruits in Container K
= 25 - 14
= 11
Percentage of the fruits in Container K are passion fruits
=
1125 x 100%
= 44%
Answer(s): 44%
