Answer the following question, with explanation first.
Trent caught 180 tadpoles then let 75% of them go. How many did he keep?

45
First find the number of tadpoles Trent released: 180 tadpoles *.

75 = 135 tadpoles.

Then subtract the number he let go from the total number to find the number of tadpoles he keeps: 180 tadpoles - 135 tadpoles = 45 tadpoles.

.

Therefore, the answer is 45
