    71 tadpoles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let 't' represent the number of tadpoles he rescued on Saturday.

    According to the problem,

    Windstone rescued 54 on Friday.

    If the number rescued on Friday is 17 less than the number he rescued on Saturday.

    The equation to find the number of tadpoles he rescued on Saturday will be:

    t-17 = 54

    Further solving for 't'

    t = 54+17

    t = 71

    Therefore, Windstone Rescued 71 tadpoles on Saturday

    71 tadpoles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Windstone rescued 54 on Friday.

    Let the number rescued on Saturday = x

    The number rescued on Friday is 17 less than the number he rescued on Saturday.

    This is written as:

    54=x-17

    To solve for x, we add 17 to both sides of the equation

    54+17=x-17+17 71=x x=71

    Windstone Rescued 71 tadpoles on Saturday
