+201 1. Of the 150 goldfish that Jill bought, 60% were females and the rest were males. When some female goldfish died, the percent of female goldfish became 52%
A. How many male goldfish were there?
B. How many female goldfish died?
+33661 60% of 150 = 0.6*150 = 90 Hence there were 90 females and 60 males to start with.
After some females died the remainder comprised 52% of the new total, so the males must have been 48% of the new total. 48% of new total = 60, so new total = 60/0.48 = 125. Hence there were 125 - 60 = 65 females left.
That means that 90 - 65 = 25 females died.
