The pet store can buy a goldfish for $.25 and sell it for $.75. The owner plans to use the profits from goldfish sales to buy a new tank, which costs $100. After one week, he is 45% short of the price. How many goldfish did he sell that week?
He is $45 short because 100 x .45 = <<100*.45=45>>45
He earned $55 off goldfish because 100 - 45 = <<100-45=55>>55
He makes $.5 profit per goldfish because .75 - .25 = <<.75-.25=.5>>.5
He sold 110 goldfish that week because 55 / .5 = <<55/.5=110>>110
