The average number of chikoos in Container P, Container Q and Container R is 16 and it is 2 more than the average number of persimmons in the 3 containers. ¹₇ of the persimmons are in Container P and the persimmons in Container P is 40% of the number of persimmons in Container Q. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container R are chikoos?
Average number of persimmons
= 16 - 2
= 14

Total number of persimmons
= 3 x 14
= 42

Total number of chikoos
= 3 x 16 
= 48

Total number of fruits
= 42 + 48
= 90

Number of fruits in each container
= 90 ÷ 3
= 30

Persimmons in Container P	Persimmons in Container Q	Persimmons in Container R	Total persimmons
1x2	6x2		7x2
2x1	5x1
2 u	5 u	7 u	14 u

40% = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ = ²₅

The number of persimmons in Container P is repeated.  Make the number of persimmons in Container P the same.  LCM of 1 and 2 is 2. 

Total number of persimmons
= 2 u + 5 u + 7 u
= 14 u

14 u = 42

1 u = 42 ÷ 14 = 3

Number of persimmons in Container R
= 7 u
= 7 x 3
= 21

Number of chikoos in Container R
= 30 - 21
= 9

Percentage of the fruits in Container R are chikoos
= ⁹₃₀ x 100%
= 30%

Answer(s): 30%
