27 + 36 + 18 = 81%
100 - 81 = 19% are not those fish
0.19 * 216 = ?
100 - 81 = 19% are not those fish
0.19 * 216 = ?
The total percentage of fish types mentioned (trout, salmon, and sturgeon) is 27% + 36% + 18% = 81%.
To find the percentage of fish types other than the ones mentioned, we subtract this from 100%:
100% - 81% = 19%.
Next, we calculate the number of fish that are likely to be other types. We do this by multiplying the total number of fish captured by the percentage of other fish types:
19% / 100% * 216 = 0.19 * 216 = 41.04
Therefore, it is likely that 41 fish are types other than trout, salmon, and sturgeon.
First, let's calculate the percentage of fish that are not trout:
100% - 27% = 73%
Next, let's calculate the percentage of fish that are not salmon:
100% - 36% = 64%
Finally, let's calculate the percentage of fish that are not sturgeon:
100% - 18% = 82%
Now, we have the percentages of fish other than trout, salmon, and sturgeon as 73%, 64%, and 82% respectively.
To find the number of fish that are likely to be other fish types, we need to multiply these percentages by the total number of fish captured by the trap, which is 216.
Number of fish likely to be other than trout = (73/100) * 216 = 157.68 approximately 158 fish
Number of fish likely to be other than salmon = (64/100) * 216 = 138.24 approximately 138 fish
Number of fish likely to be other than sturgeon = (82/100) * 216 = 177.12 approximately 177 fish
Therefore, the total number of fish likely to be other fish types is approximately 158 + 138 + 177 = 473 fish.
