Nicholas has a larger tropical fish collection. He gives 2/3 of his fish to a high school. Then he gives 2/5 of the remaining fi
sh to another school. In the end he has 30 fish left. How many fish Nicolas have at first?
1 answer:
Let the initial count of his fish be n.
He gives away 2/3 of these fish: 2n/3, leaving n/3 fish.
He gives away 2/5 of these remaining n/3 fish: (2/5) times (n/3), or
2n
--- , meaning that (3/5) times (n/3) fish are left.

(3/5)(n/3) = n/5 fish left = 30 fish. Thus, n = 150 fish.
