Daniel makes a fresh pot of coffee. The pot has 10 cups of coffee to start. Daniel fills 8 mugs with 6 fluid ounces of coffee each from the pot. How many cups of coffee are left in the pot?

Hint: There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup.

Each mug holds 6/8 = 0.75 cups of coffee.

Daniel used 8*0.75 = <<8*0.75=6>>6 cups of coffee.
There are 10-6 = <<10-6=4>>4 cups of coffee remaining in the pot. Answer: \boxed{4}.
