Answer:
11 gold fish
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that
In a fish tank, 50% of the fish are clown fish and there are 33 clown fish in the fish tank.
Let the total number of fishes in the tank be = x
Hence,
50% of x = 33
50/100 × x = 33
50x/100 = 33
Cross Multiplying
50x = 33 × 100
x = 33 × 100/50
x = 66 fishes
Hence, the total number of fishes in the tank = 66 fishes
1/3 are angel fish
The number of angel fishes are
1/3 × 66 fishes = 22 angel fish
•The rest are goldfish. How many goldfish are there in the fish tank?
The number of gold fish is calculated as:
Total number of fishes -( Number of clown fish + Number of angel fish)
= 66 - (33 + 22)
= 66 - 55
= 11
Therefore, the number of gold fish is 11
