Looking for the perfect pack

Chiclets now come in a blister pack, 12 pieces to a package. You get at least one piece each of cherry, orange, strawberry and citrus (mostly lemony tasting, and yucky). I have a scoring system for these packages based on a perfect package, in my opinion, consisting of 5 orange, 4 cherry, 2 strawberry and 1 citrus (I'd rather it was 0 citrus but that's not an option here).

Each pack starts with 100 points and loses points for every chiclet that is over or under the desired threshold. Points are deducted at a rate of:

Orange = -1 point for each piece above or below the desired total of 5
Cherry = -2 points for each piece above or below the desired total of 4
Strawberry = -4 points for each piece above or below the desired total of 2
Citrus = -6 points for each piece above or below the desired total of 1

Therefor this pack, which consisted of 1 orange, 1 cherry, 6 strawberry and 4 citrus, would score:

1 Orange
1 Cherry
6 Strawberry
4 Citrus

55% - Not exactly a stellar pack.
