Step-by-step explanation:

1 ton (or tonne) = 1000 kg

a)

so, a 3-tonne elephant weighs 3000 kg.

3000 = 100%

1% = 100%/100 = 3000/100 = 30 kg

5% = 5×1% = 5×30 = 150 kg

it eats 150 kg per day.

b)

a 4.8-tonne elephant weighs 4800 kg.

4800 = 100%

1% = 100%/100 = 4800/100 = 48 kg

5% = 5×1% = 5×48 = 240 kg

it eats 240 kg per day.
