The average number of chikoos in Box L, Box M and Box N is 22 and it is 4 more than the average number of mangoes in the 3 boxes.
16 of the mangoes are in Box L and the mangoes in Box L is 60% of the number of mangoes in Box M. If each box has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Box N are chikoos?
Average number of mangoes
= 22 - 4
= 18
Total number of mangoes
= 3 x 18
= 54
Total number of chikoos
= 3 x 22
= 66
Total number of fruits
= 54 + 66
= 120
Number of fruits in each box
= 120 ÷ 3
= 40

35The number of mangoes in Box L is repeated. Make the number of mangoes in Box L the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of mangoes
= 3 u + 5 u + 10 u
= 18 u
18 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 18 = 3
Number of mangoes in Box N
= 10 u
= 10 x 3
= 30
Number of chikoos in Box N
= 40 - 30
= 10
Percentage of the fruits in Box N are chikoos
=
1040 x 100%
= 25%
Answer(s): 25%
