Question

Paula caught a tarpon with a weight that was 11 times as great as the weight of a permit fish she caught. The total weight of the two fish was 180 pounds. How much did each fish weigh?

Answer 1

$11 + 1 = 12 \\ 180 \div 12 = 15 \\ 15 \times 1 = 15 \\ 15 \times 11 = 165$
Tarpon=165
Permit=15
