20 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

First, there are 320 apples that need to be split up between the siblings. We are first working with percentages. The total amount will be 100 percent. James has 45% and his brother has 30%. 45% + 30% is 75%. We subtract that from 100% and get 25%. That means that Eden gets 25% of 320 apple's. That's 320 *.25 or 320 / 4. That is 80 apples for Eden. If she gives 75% of her 80 apples, that means she gives 60 apples away. 80*.75 = 60. Eden would then only have 20 apples left. 80-60=20.
