Paula caught a tarpon with a weight that was 10 times as great as the weight of a permit fish she caught . The total weight of the two fish was 132 pounds. How much did each fish weight?

Sagot :

x equals weight of permit fish
x + 10X = 132
11x = 132
x= 12

permit fish= 12
tarpon=120

[tex]x \rightarrow the \ weight \ of \ permit \ fish \\ 10x \rightarrow tarpon \\ \\ x+10x=132 \\ 11x=132 \\ x= \frac{132}{11} \\ x=12 \\ \\ The \ weight \ of \ permit \ fish \ is \ 12. \\ The \ weight \ of \ the \ tarpon \ is \ 12 \times10=120 \\ \\ \\ Checking : 12+120=132 [/tex]
