Paula caught a tarpon with a weight that was 10 times as great as the weight of a permit fish she caught. The total weight of the two fish was 154 pounds. How much did each fish weigh?

The permit fish weighed pounds.

The tarpon weighed pounds.

The weight of permit fish 140 pounds

The weight of Tarpon fish 14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, x = 14 pounds

Again by question weight of permit fish

for 10x

by substituting value of x we have,

=10×14 pounds

=140 pounds

so what is the question
