If there 6 carp in the pond, and this value represents 40% of the fish in the pond, what value represents 100%

15 = total fish in the pond

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of carp = total fish in the pond * percentage of carp

We know the number of carp and the percentage of carp

Number of carp = 6 and the percentage of carp  = 40%  (in decimal form = .4)

Substitute these in

6 = total fish in the pond * .4

Divide each side by .4

6/.4 = total fish in the pond *.4/.4

15 = total fish in the pond

the final function for the graph becomes x-2=-1. before graphing you solve the equation, where x=1. then graph accordingly.   ( on the x-axis, 1 on the line will possess a vertical line.)
