Let
the weight of the Kingfish = K
the weight of the Amberjack = A The king fish weighed twice as much as the amberjack → K = 2*A
the weight of the Merlin = M marlin weighed twice as much as the kingfish → M = 2 * K = 4 * A
the weight of the Tarpon = T The weight of the tarpon was five times the weight of the amberjack → T = 5 * A
Jon caught four fish that weighed a total of 252 pounds → K + A + M + T = 252
a+2a+4a+5a=252
12 12
a=21
Amberjack = 21 lbs Kingfish = 42 lbs White Marlin = 84 lbs Tarpon = 105 lbs.
