    Ta = tarpon

    am = amberjack

    wm = white marlin

    tu = tuna

    ta + am + wm + tu = 1092

    ta = 2 * am

    wm = 2 * ta = 4 * am

    tu = 5 * am

    2 * am + 4 * am + 5 * am + am = 12 am = 1092

    am = 91

    ta = 2 * 91 = 182

    etc ...

    X = weight of amberjack

    2x = weight of tarpon

    4x = weight of marlin

    5x = weight of tuna

    x + 2x + 4x + 5x = 1092

    12x=1092

    x = 91

    Amberjack weighs 91 pounds

    Tarpon = 2 x 91 = 182 pounds

    Marlin = 4 x 91 = 364 pounds

    Tuna = 5 x 91 = 455 pounds
