Jordan and Perry took a boat out to the lake to go fishing on a Monday morning. Jordan caught 4 fish and Perry caught double what Jordan caught. On the way back to shore, the boat tipped over and they lost one-fourth of their total catch. How many fish remain?
How many fish did Perry catch? ** Since Perry caught double what Jordan caught, Perry caught 2 * 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 fish.
How many fish did Jordan and Perry catch? ** Altogether, they caught 8 + 4 = <<8+4=12>>12 fish.
How many fish did they lose? ** On the way back to the shore, they lost 12 * 1/4 = <<12*1/4=3>>3 fish.
How many fish remain? ** They have 12 - 3 = <<12-3=9>>9 fish remaining.
