If Henry were to add 5 gallons of water to a tank that is already 3/4 full of water, the tank would be 7/8 full. How many gallons of water would the tank hold if it were full?

A.25
B.40
C.64
D.80
E.96


We can create the following equation in which n = the capacity of the tank:

(3/4)n + 5 = (7/8)n

Multiplying the equation by 8, we have:

6n + 40 = 7n

40 = n

Answer: B
