A bookstore had 48 copies of a magazine. Yesterday, it sold 23 of them. Today, it sold 18 of what remained. How many copies does the bookstore have left?

Question

a book stor had 48 copies of a magazine

Answer 1

The total number of magazines copies at the bookstore = 48

 

Yesterday, the number of copies sold = 23

 

The number of copies remained today = 48-23 = 25

 

Number of copies sold out of what remained = 18

 

So, the final number of copies left at the bookstore now, = 25 - 18 =7

 

Hence, 7 copies have left at the bookstore.
