Mrs Seeto had some oranges, apples and mangoes in her fruit basket 40% of the fruits in the basket were oranges. The number of apples was 2/3 the number of mangoes. What percentage of her fruits was mangoes?

If there were x fruits, then

o = `2/5` x
a = `2/3` m

now,

m+a+o = x
m + `2/3` m + `2/5` x = x
`5/3` m = `3/5` x
m/x = `9/25` = 36%

Thus, 36 percentage of her fruits was mangoes.
