Answer 1

the answer is 6 crickets

Answer 2

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.
