Question

The number of fish in a lake decreased by 25% between last year and this year. Last year there were 60 fish in the lake. What is the population this year?

Answer 1

Answer: 45 fish

Explanation:

To find the answer you would first convert the percentage into a decimal which would be 25% for this problem. Then you multiply the original price by the decimal. 60 x 0.25=15. Next you would subtract the discount from the original price which would be 60-15=45.

Hope this helped!!
