    Really love this.

    The tank initially holds 320 fluid ounces of water.

    Water evaporates at the rate of 3.84 ounces per day.

    For 2 weeks that consist of 2 * 7 days = 14 days.

    For 1 day there is a loss of 3.84 ounces.

    Therefore for 14 days there would be loss of = 14 * 3.84 = 53.76

    Therefore amount left = 320 minus 53.76 = 266.24 fluid ounces.

    So we guess the fish would still be alive.

    320 - (3.84 x 14) = 266.24 oz

    He was gone for two weeks means he was gone for 14 days. If it drains 3.84 per day, he will lose oz of water equivalent to (3.84 x 14), resulting in him having 266.24 oz when he gets back.
