A salt water fish tank has 24 fish in it. If 3 of those fish are Clown Fish, what percent are Clown Fish?

To determine what percentage of the fish in the tank are Clown Fish, you can use the following steps: 1. **Identify the total number of fish and the number of Clown Fish:** - Total fish = 24 - Clown Fish = 3 2. **Use the percentage formula:** \[ \text{Percentage of Clown Fish} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Clown Fish}}{\text{Total Number of Fish}} \right) \times 100\% \] 3. **Plug in the numbers:** \[ \text{Percentage of Clown Fish} = \left( \frac{3}{24} \right) \times 100\% \] 4. **Calculate the fraction:** \[ \frac{3}{24} = 0.125 \] 5. **Convert the fraction to a percentage:** \[ 0.125 \times 100\% = 12.5\% \] **Answer:** 12.5% of the fish in the tank are Clown Fish.
