Eight Bluefin tuna comprise 5% of the total tuna catch. How many tuna were caught in total?

5% means 0.05
0.05 of the catch = 8 tuna
Divide each side by 0.05 :
the catch = 8 tuna / 0.05 = 160 tuna

5% x 100 8 Cross multiply and divide = .4
8* 5% = .4
8* .05 = .4

Eight Bluefin tuna represent 5% of the total catch. Therefore, to find the total number of tuna, we divide 8 by 0.05, which gives us 160. Thus, the total number of tuna caught is 160 tuna.
