**Angelfish + Goldfish = 149 **149 – 35 goldfish that were sold

**Angelfish + Goldfish = 149
**149 – 35 goldfish that were sold = 114 Angelfish and Goldfish
Angelfish + Goldfish = 114
**There are twice as many Angelfish as Goldfish after the 35 Goldfish were sold.
The 114 fish is made up of 2 parts Angelfish, and 1 part Goldfish, making 3 parts in
all. So 2/3 of the 114 is Angelfish, and 1/3 of the 114 is Angelfish. To find 1/3 of
something you can divide by 4. 114 ÷ 3 = 38. There are 38 Goldfish. If there are
twice as many Angelfish than Goldfish, then 38 Goldfish x 2 = 76 Angelfish.
Or for those who prefer it algebraically.
2g + g = 114
 where “g” represents Goldfish, the 2g means twice as many
Goldfish, which is the amount of Angelfish
3g = 114
÷3 ÷3
g = 38
 there are 38 Goldfish
If there are twice as many Angelfish as Goldfish, then 38 x 2 = 76 Angelfish
**There are twice as many Guppies as Angelfish.
76 Angelfish x 2 = 152 Guppies
**Guppies + Angelfish + Goldfish = 152 + 76 + 38 = 266 fish in all
