each crate of apples consists of 4layers of apples.each layer consists of 5 rows which has 6 apples each. it was decided that new types of crates which could accomodate 5 layers of apples with 5 rows in each layers but only 5 apples each row would be used for packing what is the percentage reduction in the no. of crates used for packing?

• 4%
  
  Earlier capacity = 120 apples
  new capacity = 125 apples.
  
  If there were 120*125 apples,
  earlier requirement of crates = 125
  new req= 120
  % reduction = 100*5/125 = 4%
  
  But if numbers are odd i.e. all crates are not used to full capacity , the reduction can be different.
  
  if there are 130 apples,
  requirement of crates in both cases will be 2
  hence no reduction.
