After the decrease of 10% and a increase of 15%, the amount of fish is:

A = 1.035*f

What is the number of fish caught this year?

Originally, the number of fish caught is f. Here we will have decreases and increases of given percentages.

First we have a decrease of 10%, then the number of fish is:

A = 0.9*f

Then we have an increase of 15%, then the number of fish is:

A = 0.9*1.15*f

Now we can rewrite:

A = 0.9*1.15*f = 1.035*f

So the correct option is C.
