The average number of passion fruits in Container W, Container X and Container Y is 25 and it is 10 more than the average number of starfruits in the 3 containers.
15 of the starfruits are in Container W and the starfruits in Container W is 60% of the number of starfruits in Container X. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container Y are passion fruits?
Average number of starfruits
= 25 - 10
= 15
Total number of starfruits
= 3 x 15
= 45
Total number of passion fruits
= 3 x 25
= 75
Total number of fruits
= 45 + 75
= 120
Number of fruits in each container
= 120 ÷ 3
= 40

35The number of starfruits in Container W is repeated. Make the number of starfruits in Container W the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of starfruits
= 3 u + 5 u + 7 u
= 15 u
15 u = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 15 = 3
Number of starfruits in Container Y
= 7 u
= 7 x 3
= 21
Number of passion fruits in Container Y
= 40 - 21
= 19
Percentage of the fruits in Container Y are passion fruits
=
1940 x 100%
= 47.5%
Answer(s): 47.5%
