The answer should be 31, if I’m doing this correctly.
6(3)2-5 (multiply 6 and 3, you get 18)
18(2)-5 (multiply 18 and 2, you get 36)
36-5 (subtract 36 and 5)
31
2 out of 50 were tagged.
Divide 2 by 50:
2/50 = 0.4 ( This is 4% of the fish were tagged).
Now divide the number of fish caught by the percentage that were tagged:
50 / 0.04 = 1250
The number of fish in the pond is C. 1250
