The average number of lemons in Container C, Container D and Container E is 52 and it is 4 more than the average number of kiwis in the 3 containers.
19 of the kiwis are in Container C and the kiwis in Container C is 40% of the number of kiwis in Container D. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container E are lemons?
Average number of kiwis
= 52 - 4
= 48
Total number of kiwis
= 3 x 48
= 144
Total number of lemons
= 3 x 52
= 156
Total number of fruits
= 144 + 156
= 300
Number of fruits in each container
= 300 ÷ 3
= 100

25The number of kiwis in Container C is repeated. Make the number of kiwis in Container C the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of kiwis
= 2 u + 5 u + 11 u
= 18 u
18 u = 144
1 u = 144 ÷ 18 = 8
Number of kiwis in Container E
= 11 u
= 11 x 8
= 88
Number of lemons in Container E
= 100 - 88
= 12
Percentage of the fruits in Container E are lemons
=
12100 x 100%
= 12%
Answer(s): 12%
