in a certain pond, 55 fish were caught, tagged, and returned to the pond. a few days later, 55 fish were caught again, of which 2 were found to have been tagged. if the percent of tagged fish in the second catch approximates the percent of tagged fish in the pond, what ` s the approximate number of fish in the pond?

divide(55, divide(2, 55))
"the percent of tagged fish in the second catch is 2 / 55 * 100 = 3.64 % . we are told that 3.64 % approximates the percent of tagged fish in the pond . since there are 55 tagged fish , then we have 0.036 x = 55 - - > x = 1,528 . answer : d ."
