    Pool A has 3,200 gallons more water than Pool B.

    Explanation:

    given,

    pool B contains water = 40,000 gallons

    Capacity of pool A = 60% of Pool B

    = 0.6 * 40000

    = 24,000 gallons

    Pool A has water = 80% of full

    = 0.8 * 24,000

    = 19,200 gallons

    Pool B has water = 40% of full

    = 0.4 * 40,000

    = 16,000 gallons

    Pool A has more water by = 19,200 gallons - 16,000 gallons

    = 3,200 gallons
