    How many goldfish did Calvin buy?

    (2 bowls x 6 goldfish) + 3 goldfish in a bag = 15 goldfish

    Calculate the number of fish in 1 bowl and in the bag together.

    (1 bowls x 6 goldfish) + 3 goldfish in a bag = 9 goldfish

    Divide that number by the number of bowls.

    9 goldfish / 2 bowls = 4.5 goldfish

    Calculate how many goldfish are in 2 fish bowls.

    2 bowls x 6 goldfish = 12 goldfish

    Add that number to the number of fish in the bag.

    12 goldfish + 3 goldfish = 15 goldfish

    Calculate how many more goldfish are in a bowl than the bag.

    6 goldfish - 3 goldfish = 3 goldfish more in a bowl than in a bag

    Multiply that number by the number of bowls.

    3 goldfish x 2 = 6 goldfish

    Calculate how many fish bowls there are.

    2 fish bowls

    Add that number to the number of fish in the bag.

    2 + 3 = 5
