brad put 10 cricketers in his pet lizards cage after one day brads lizard has eaten 20% of the crickets he had to put in the cage by the end of the next dY the lizard has eaten 25% of the remaining crickets how many crickets were left in the cage at the end lf the second day
Answer:
6 crickets were left in the cage at the end lf the second day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of crickets in the cage,x = 10
Percentage of crickets eaten by lizards = 20% of x
After 1 day, number of crickets left in the cage :
x - 20% of x = \(10 - \frac{20}{100}\times 10\) = 8
Number of crickets left in the cage after 1 day ,y = 8
Number of crickets left in the cage after 2 days:
Percentage of crickets eaten by lizards = 25% of y
y - 25% of y = \(8 - \frac{25}{100}\times 8\) = 6
6 crickets were left in the cage at the end lf the second day.
