14 trout out of 50 total fish. The total amount of fish in the lake is 7500. Let’s make this into a proportion.
14/50=x/7500
x represents how much trout is in the lake, we don’t know yet, but we’ll find out.
First, cross multiply.
14*7500=105000
50*x=50x
Now let’s turn this into an equation.
50x=105000
Divide both sides by 50
50x/50=x
105000/50=2100
x=2100
Out of the 7500 fish in the lake, 2100 were trouts.

Hey there!
GUIDE
• The word “sum” means add
• The word “difference” means subtract
• The word “product” means multiply
• The word “quotient” means divide
• The word “is” means equal to
• The “unknown number” is a variable that is not known. So people usually label it as a variable until they figure out what the unknown value is.
Now that we have that information out the way we can solve for your given question.
“The [DIFFERENCE] between [a number] & 16 [is] 49
Lets break it down
• DIFFERENCE (between) = subtract☑️
• A NUMBER = UNKNOWN (so we will label it is as “n”]☑️
• 16 will stay the same because NOTHING was done to it!
• IS = is equal to☑️
We have the key terms out of the way so now we met our answer
ANSWER:
“n - 16 = 49”
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
