Answer:

6 crickets were left in the cage at the end lf the second day.

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 - (20)/(100)* 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 - (25)/(100)* 8 = 6

6 crickets were left in the cage at the end lf the second day.
