The average number of apples in Container B, Container C and Container D is 39 and it is 3 more than the average number of mangoes in the 3 containers.
13 of the mangoes are in Container B and the mangoes in Container B is 80% of the number of mangoes in Container C. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container D are apples?
Average number of mangoes
= 39 - 3
= 36
Total number of mangoes
= 3 x 36
= 108
Total number of apples
= 3 x 39
= 117
Total number of fruits
= 108 + 117
= 225
Number of fruits in each container
= 225 ÷ 3
= 75

45The number of mangoes in Container B is repeated. Make the number of mangoes in Container B the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
Total number of mangoes
= 4 u + 5 u + 3 u
= 12 u
12 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 12 = 9
Number of mangoes in Container D
= 3 u
= 3 x 9
= 27
Number of apples in Container D
= 75 - 27
= 48
Percentage of the fruits in Container D are apples
=
4875 x 100%
= 64%
Answer(s): 64%
