In Tate’s garden pond, there are 4 male guppies, 7 female guppies, 3 male goldfishes, and 5 female goldfishes. He buys 2 male guppies, 1 female guppy, 2 male goldfishes, and 3 female goldfishes. How many more female fishes than male fishes does Tate have?

Step 1: Calculate initial number of male fishes

First, we need to find the total number of male fishes Tate has initially in the pond before buying any new fishes. This is done by adding the number of male guppies and male goldfishes.

Step 2: Calculate initial number of female fishes

Next, we calculate the total number of female fishes Tate has initially in the pond. This involves adding the number of female guppies and female goldfishes.

Step 3: Calculate total male fishes after purchase

Now, we account for the new fishes Tate buys. We add the number of male guppies bought and male goldfishes bought to the initial total male fishes to find the new total.

Step 4: Calculate total female fishes after purchase

Similarly, we add the number of female guppies bought and female goldfishes bought to the initial total female fishes to find the new overall total for female fishes.

Step 5: Find the difference

Finally, to determine how many more female fishes than male fishes Tate has, we subtract the total number of male fishes from the total number of female fishes.
