A bookstore has 45 copies of a bestseller available on Saturday morning. Twenty-one customers purchase the book that day. On Monday, a shipment of 25 books arrives and 14 copies are sold. Which statements are correct

1 answer

To analyze the situation described with the bookstore, let's break it down step by step:

  1. Initial stock on Saturday: 45 copies.

  2. Sales on Saturday: 21 customers purchase the book.

    • Remaining stock after Saturday: 45 - 21 = 24 copies.
  3. Stock after new shipment on Monday: A shipment of 25 books arrives.

    • Total stock after the shipment: 24 + 25 = 49 copies.
  4. Sales on Monday: 14 copies are sold.

    • Remaining stock after Monday sales: 49 - 14 = 35 copies.

Now, based on the details above, here are some correct statements that can be derived:

  1. The bookstore sold a total of 35 copies (21 on Saturday and 14 on Monday).
  2. After Saturday, 24 copies were left in stock.
  3. With the arrival of the shipment, the total stock increased to 49 copies.
  4. After all sales, 35 copies remain in stock.
