The average number of apples in Container U, Container V and Container W is 30 and it is 10 more than the average number of kiwis in the 3 containers.
15 of the kiwis are in Container U and the kiwis in Container U is 40% of the number of kiwis in Container V. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container W are apples?
Average number of kiwis
= 30 - 10
= 20
Total number of kiwis
= 3 x 20
= 60
Total number of apples
= 3 x 30
= 90
Total number of fruits
= 60 + 90
= 150
Number of fruits in each container
= 150 ÷ 3
= 50

25The number of kiwis in Container U is repeated. Make the number of kiwis in Container U the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of kiwis
= 2 u + 5 u + 3 u
= 10 u
10 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 10 = 6
Number of kiwis in Container W
= 3 u
= 3 x 6
= 18
Number of apples in Container W
= 50 - 18
= 32
Percentage of the fruits in Container W are apples
=
3250 x 100%
= 64%
Answer(s): 64%
