 <translate> The 2nd competitor ate twice the amount of the 1st competitor's 12 hot dogs So he ate 2 * 12 = 24 hot dogs. 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. <yor> Olùdíje kejì jẹ ìlọ́po méjì iye oúnjẹ tí olùdíje àkọ́kọ́ jẹ, ó jẹ 2 * 12 = 24 oúnjẹ.
