    13 out of the 213 tagged returned

    13/213 is estimate of how many fraction returned

    proportional, marked/totalmarked≈caught/totalinlake

    213/13=total/104

    times both sides by 104*13 (cross multiply)

    213*104=total times 13

    22152=total times 13

    divide both sides by 13

    about 1704 bass in the lake
