1. The screen is using 43% of the amount being used, so it's using 10.75% of the battery (only 25% of the battery was used).

2. Turn down the screen brightness, and set the screen to turn off after no more than 30 seconds of inactivity. The screen is about the largest battery consumer.

3. Protection, if it's doing a scan, will use a lot. There are virus scanners that will only run when the device is powered, so that won't eat battery.

4. Never let the battery get that low. Never let it get below 40%. (It doesn't matter if you can't - get a power bank if your usage is such that you need more than 60% of the battery's capacity before you can recharge it. Draining it to 10% all the time will give you about 8 months of battery life.)
