The average number of mangoes in Container R, Container S and Container T is 44 and it is 8 more than the average number of apples in the 3 containers.
16 of the apples are in Container R and the apples in Container R is 60% of the number of apples in Container S. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container T are mangoes?
Average number of apples
= 44 - 8
= 36
Total number of apples
= 3 x 36
= 108
Total number of mangoes
= 3 x 44
= 132
Total number of fruits
= 108 + 132
= 240
Number of fruits in each container
= 240 ÷ 3
= 80

35The number of apples in Container R is repeated. Make the number of apples in Container R the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of apples
= 3 u + 5 u + 10 u
= 18 u
18 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 18 = 6
Number of apples in Container T
= 10 u
= 10 x 6
= 60
Number of mangoes in Container T
= 80 - 60
= 20
Percentage of the fruits in Container T are mangoes
=
2080 x 100%
= 25%
Answer(s): 25%
