Let initially number of fishes =x

He gives 2/3 of his fish to a local high school, that is he gives 2x/3 fish .

So number of fishes left = x -(2x/3) = x/3 . And he gives 2/5 of x/3 to an elementary school , that is , he gives 2x/15 fishes to the elementary school. And finally the number of fishes left =30 , that is

x-(\frac{2x}{3}+\frac{2x}{15})=30

x-\frac{12x}{15}=30

\frac{3x}{15}=30

x = 150

So initially he have 150 fishes .

Answer:

300. In this case, it's very easy to do this percentage inflation. Since 20 is a multiple of 100, and we want to know the 100%, you just multiply the 20 by 5 to make it 100. Along with this, you multiply the 60 by 5 as well, which gives you 300.
