According to the table, the probability of a fish to be pink is 50%, to be yellow is 0% and to be blue is 50%

Notice that 50%=50/100=0.50; therefore,


\begin{gathered} 0.50\cdot50=25 \\ \text{and} \\ 0.00\cdot50=0 \end{gathered}

Thus, out of the 50 fish in the pond, 25 are pink salmon, 0 are yellowfin tuna, and 25 are bluegill.
