Question: A store has 120 items in stock. They sell 30% of items on Monday and 25% of the remaining items on Tuesday. How many items are left?
Let's solve this step by step:
1. Initial stock is 120 items
2. Monday's sales: 30% of 120 = 120 × 0.30 = 36 items sold
3. Items after Monday: 120 - 36 = 84 items
4. Tuesday's sales: 25% of 84 = 84 × 0.25 = 21 items sold
5. Final remaining items: 84 - 21 = 63 items
Answer: 63 items are left
