Answer:21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Ramon counted 'x' no. of turtles,
therefore, according to the question, he counted (2x + 3) crayfish.
It is given that he counted 54 turtles and crayfish.
So, our equation becomes, x + 2x + 3 = 54
or, 3x + 3 = 54
or, 3x = 51
or x = 17
So, in the pond there were 17 turtles and 17*2 + 3 = 37 crayfishes.
But according to the question there were 4 more frogs than turtles.
So total no. of frogs were,
17 + 4 = 21
Hope it helps!!!
