Bret has a fish tank that holds 320 liquid ounces of water. On average, the water evaporates from the tank at a rate of 3.84 ounces per day. Bret went on vacation for 2 weeks, and asked a friend to feed his fish. The fish tank was full of water when Bret left. To the nearest hundredth, how many liquid ounces of water were left in the tank when Bret returned from his vacation?
