Air is pumped into a bicycle tire. The 41 moles of air initially in the tire have a gauge pressure of 1 atm. How many moles of air must be pumped into the tire in order to raise the gauge pressure to 5 atm? Assume that the volume and temperature of the air inside the tire are approximately constant.

Ive tried both 205 moles and 164 moles and both come up as incorrect. Not sure why.
