    Let t be the number of triggerfish and p be the number of parrotfish

    t + p = 320

    t = 7p

    7p + p = 320

    8p = 320

    p = 40

    There are 40 parrotfish.

    p = 40

    t = 7 (40)

    t = 280

    There are 280 triggerfish.

    Check:

    t + p = 320

    280 + 40 = 320

    320 = 320
