If 8 gallons of gasoline are added to a tank that is already filled to 3/4 of its capacity, the tank is then filled to 9/10 of its capacity. How many gallons does the tank hold?  Pick one:
A) 20
B) 24
C) 36
D) 48
E) 60

Rationale: "let the capacity of the tank = c ( 3 / 4 ) c + 8 = ( 9 / 10 ) c = > ( 9 / 10 ) c - ( 3 / 4 ) c = 8 = > ( 3 / 20 ) c = 8 = > c = ( 8 * 20 ) / 3 = 53.33 number of gallons of gasoline that the tank currently holds = 3 / 4 * c + 8 = 39.99 + 8 = 47.99 = 48 answer d"
Answer: D
