The average number of chikoos in Box Q, Box R and Box S is 24 and it is 8 more than the average number of mangoes in the 3 boxes.
13 of the mangoes are in Box Q and the mangoes in Box Q is 80% of the number of mangoes in Box R. If each box has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Box S are chikoos?
Average number of mangoes
= 24 - 8
= 16
Total number of mangoes
= 3 x 16
= 48
Total number of chikoos
= 3 x 24
= 72
Total number of fruits
= 48 + 72
= 120
Number of fruits in each box
= 120 ÷ 3
= 40

45The number of mangoes in Box Q is repeated. Make the number of mangoes in Box Q the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
Total number of mangoes
= 4 u + 5 u + 3 u
= 12 u
12 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 12 = 4
Number of mangoes in Box S
= 3 u
= 3 x 4
= 12
Number of chikoos in Box S
= 40 - 12
= 28
Percentage of the fruits in Box S are chikoos
=
2840 x 100%
= 70%
Answer(s): 70%
