I will capture 100 fish and then tag them.

I wait a few days and catch another 100 hundred fish and see how many are tagged.

The number of tagged fish will be the percent of fish that are tagged.

So if there are 25 fish that are tagged in the second batch.

The original 100 tagged fish are 25% of the population.Therefore the total population is 400 fish.

Your turn,

If I tagged 60 fish, then I caught 50 fish and 10 were tagged.How many total fish?
