The aquarium has 6 fewer yellow fish than green fish. 40 percent of the fish are yellow. how many green fish are in the aquarium? show your work.

(only thing i have written down):
x= green fish
y= yellow fish
40%= amount of yellow fish

i don't know what equation to i'll most likely be able to go from there : ).

there are 36 green fish in the aquarium

Step-by-step explanation:

6=10 percent x or y

6 divided by 10=.6

.6 multiplied by 60=36

18

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of fishes in the aquarium is dependent on the number of yellow fish and green fish;. The total is 100%.

Given;

x = green fish

y= yellow fish

If the aquarium has 6 fewer yellow fish than green fish then,

x = y + 6 as such, y = x - 6

40%= amount of yellow fish, then 60% = amount of green fish

(x/x+y) × 100% = 60%

x/x+x-6 = 0.6

x/2x - 6 = 0.6

x = 1.2x - 3.6

x - 1.2x = -3.6

-0.2x = -3.6

x = 18

The number of green fishes is 18

you already gave the answer
