On the first day of fishing season, 70% of the 125 people fishing caught fish. Find what percent of the people caught fish.

70%

To find the percent of people who caught fish, we need to divide the number of people who caught fish by the total number of people fishing, and then multiply by 100%.

First, let's find the number of people who caught fish. We have been given that 70% of the 125 people fishing caught fish. To find the number of people, we can multiply 70% (in decimal form, 0.70) by 125:

0.70 * 125 = 87.5

Since we can't have half a person, we can round this to the nearest whole number. Therefore, 88 people caught fish.

Now, we can find the percent of the people who caught fish by dividing the number of people who caught fish (88) by the total number of people fishing (125), and then multiplying by 100%:

(88 / 125) * 100% = 70.4%

Therefore, 70.4% of the people caught fish on the first day of fishing season.
