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
