The average number of pomegranates in Container M, Container N and Container P is 52 and it is 4 more than the average number of chikoos in the 3 containers.
16 of the chikoos are in Container M and the chikoos in Container M is 60% of the number of chikoos in Container N. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container P are pomegranates?
Average number of chikoos
= 52 - 4
= 48
Total number of chikoos
= 3 x 48
= 144
Total number of pomegranates
= 3 x 52
= 156
Total number of fruits
= 144 + 156
= 300
Number of fruits in each container
= 300 ÷ 3
= 100

35The number of chikoos in Container M is repeated. Make the number of chikoos in Container M the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of chikoos
= 3 u + 5 u + 10 u
= 18 u
18 u = 144
1 u = 144 ÷ 18 = 8
Number of chikoos in Container P
= 10 u
= 10 x 8
= 80
Number of pomegranates in Container P
= 100 - 80
= 20
Percentage of the fruits in Container P are pomegranates
=
20100 x 100%
= 20%
Answer(s): 20%
