Question 432426: Mary has two tanks of fish. If she transfers 15 fish from the larger tank to the smaller tank, then the number of fish in the smaller tank will be 5/7 of fish in the larger tank. Given that there are 35 fish in the smaller tank originally, find the number of fish in the larger tanik before the transfer of fish. Answer by belle3833(46) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 35 fish in the smaller tank originally.
After the transfer there are 35+15=50 fish.
Let x be the number of fish in the larger tank.
There are 70 fish in the larger tank.
Hope this helps ;-)
