i need help with this a environmental class question....?

Question

Only about 35% of the fish captured on coral reefs survive longer than 6 months in captivity, which means that 65% do not. For 7,200,000 fish surviving 6 months, how many were initially captured? How many thus died?

Answer 1

captured aprox-11076924
died approx-3876923

7,200,000 divided by .65= captured
captured times .35= died
approx cause not a whole result

Answer 2

This is a environmental class question? Looks like a math question to me . Any way, if 7,200,000 = 35% Divide 7.2M by 35 and x by 100 . multiply that number by 65% to find number that died. You do the math.
