Fisherman Caught 28 Fishes on Monday
Step-by-step explanation:
Let say on Monday fishes caught were = F
then on Tuesday Fishes Caught were = 2F
fisherman caught 15kg of fish on Monday
=> Average Weight of Fish on Monday = 15/F kg
fisherman caught 23kg of fish on Tuesday
=> Average Weight of Fish on Tuesday = 23/2F kg
15/F - 23/2F = 1/8
Multiplying both sides by 8F
=> 120 - 92 = F
=> F = 28
