Question

The number of fish in a lake decreased by 35% between last year and this year last year there were 60 fish in the lake what is the population this year

Answer 1

Explanation:

This is a simple one.

Last year there were 60 fishes and we've been given that this year population decreased by 35%.

This year population = 60 - (35% of 60)

= 60 - (35/100 * 60)

= 60 - 21

= 39 fishes this year
