Word problems in mathematics involves the use of mathematical operations to solve real-life cases.

Let assume that the number of fish in the Colorado River in last season is (x)

If the number of the fish increased by 47%, then the amount of the fish in the river will be:

  • 0.47x

Now, in the current year, the number of fish in the river = 25284 fish

What we are expected to do is to equate the number of fish in the last season with the number of fish in the current season.

By doing so, we have:

  • 0.47x = 25284

Making (x) the subject of the formula, we have:

x = 25284/0.47

x = 53795.74 fishes
