A pelican caught 13 fish and a kingfisher caught 7 more fish than the pelican. If a fisherman caught 3 times the total amount of fish the pelican and kingfisher caught, how many more fish did the fisherman catch than the pelican?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
User
The kingfisher caught 13 + 7 = 20 fish. The pelican and kingfisher caught 13 + 20 = 33 fish. The fisherman caught 3 x 33 = 99 fish. The fisherman caught 99 - 13 = 86 more fish than the pelican.
Thus, the answer is 86.
