The 3rd competitor ate 25% less than the 2nd's 24 hot dogs, which is 24 / 4 = 6 hot dogs. If the 2nd competitor ate 24 hot dogs, and the 3rd ate 25% less than that, then the 3rd competitor ate 24 - 6 = 18 hot dogs. So the final answer is 18. <ibo> Onye nke abuo riri okpukpu abuo nke hotdog iri na abuo nke onye nke mbu riri ya mere o riri 2 * 12 = 24 hotdog.
