fisher caught 13%, or 32 kg, of the fish caught during a season.
\n" ); document.write( "What was the total catch during the season?
\n" ); document.write( "13% of the fish caught during the season is 32 kg.
\n" ); document.write( "let x equal the total amount of fish caught during the season.
\n" ); document.write( "you would get
\n" ); document.write( "13% of x = 32 kg
\n" ); document.write( "13% = .13 decimal equivalent.
\n" ); document.write( "formula becomes:
\n" ); document.write( ".13 * x = 32 kg
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of the equation by .13 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 32/.13 kg which makes:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 246.1538462 kg.
\n" ); document.write( "that's the total amount of fish that was caught during the season.
\n" ); document.write( "the fisher caught 13% of that this means the fisher caught .13 * 246.1538462 which means the fisher caught 32 kg of fish.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
