This question is not posted correctly. Lot of ambiguity is there.

20% spoiled, 25% for guests;
it is mentioned that remaining 22% are consumed by family members.
Is the remaining 22% means 22% of 55% (100% - 20% spoiled - 25% for guests) or 22% of initial numbers.
 
It is asked in the question " How many fruits were there in the basket " .
Does it mean inital number of fruits in the basket or remaining fruits after removing spoiled one, deducting reserved for guests
and deducting the consumed numbers by family memebers.
 
To know the actual value of all, at least we need actual value of one category.
If every thing is given in percentage and initial numbers are not known, it is not possible to get actual value of each category
