Question

Trevor went to the pet store to get a new pet fish. Unfortunately, the selection at the store wasn't very good. Exactly 90% of the fish at the store were goldfish. Trevor wanted any fish, but a goldfish. If there are 140 fish at the store, then how many fish could Trevor choose from?​

Answer 1

Answer: He has 14 other fish to choose from in the store

Explanation:

90% ÷ 100 = .9

.9 × 140 = 126

140 - 126 = 14

Answer 2

Answer: 14 fish

explanation: 90% of 140= 126 (if u use a proportion or multiply 0.9x140).

140-126=14
