assistant
How many tadpoles did Trent release? ** First find the number of tadpoles Trent released: 180 tadpoles * .75 = <<180*.75=135>>135 tadpoles
How many tadpoles did Trent keep? ** Then subtract the number he let go from the total number to find the number of tadpoles he keeps: 180 tadpoles - 135 tadpoles = <<180-135=45>>45 tadpoles
