Will and Henry go fishing in a river. Will catches 16 catfish and 10 eels. Henry challenges himself to catch 3 trout for every catfish Will catches. Due to environmental concerns, Henry decides to return half his catch after meeting his own challenge. How many fishes do they have altogether now?
Will caught 16+10= <<16+10=26>>26 fishes
Henry caught 3 trout for each catfish Will caught so since Will caught 16 catfish, Henry caught 16*3 = <<3*16=48>>48 trout
Half of 48 trout is (1/2)*48 = 24
Henry returned 24 trout leaving him with 48-24 = <<48-24=24>>24 trout
They now have a total of 26+24 = <<26+24=50>>50 fishes
