Percentage of caramel apples after Owen received from Jack
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
Percentage of Owen's caramel apples that Kathy had after receiving from Owen
= 60% x 125%
=
60100 x 125%
= 75%
Percentage of caramel apples that Owen had left after giving to Kathy
= 125% - 75%
= 50%
100% = 40
Number of caramel apples that Owen had left
= 50% x 40
=
50100 x 40
= 20
