In a certain pond, 50 fish were caught, tagged, and returned to the pond. A few days later, 50 fish were caught again, of which 10 were found to have been tagged. If the percent of tagged fish in the second catch approximates the percent of tagged fish in the pond, what is the approximate number of fish in the pond? Select the correct option.
A) 250  B) 625  C) 1,250  D) 2,500  E) 10,000
total fish = x   percentage of second catch = (10/50)*100=

<output>20</output>
20%   so, x * 20%= 50   x = 250 ans 250.
