Answer:

The permit fish weighed 13 pounds.

The tarpon weighted 130 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the weight for the permit fish.

Since the tarpon is 10 times greater, it would be [tex]10x[/tex].

Now, let's put it into an equation.

[tex]x + 10x = 143[/tex]

[tex]11x = 143[/tex]

[tex]x = 13[/tex]

[tex]10x = 13 *10 = 130[/tex]

Therefore, the permit fish weighs 13 pounds while the tarpon weighs 130 pounds.
