Question

You track inventory at a furniture store. On Monday morning, the delivery truck delivered 15 new mattresses to an empty warehouse. After the delivery, your team sold 7 mattresses on Monday, 2 mattresses on Tuesday, 0 on Wednesday, and 5 on Thursday. On Friday morning, you received a new order of 15 mattresses. How many mattresses do you have available for sale after the delivery on Friday morning?

Answer 1

You would have 16 mattresses available for sale after the delivery on Friday morning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because, on Friday morning, you received a new order of 15 mattresses, which would put the total number of mattresses in the warehouse at 21. But, 7 mattresses were sold on Monday, 2 mattresses were sold on Tuesday, 0 were sold on Wednesday, and 5 were sold on Thursday. So, 21 mattresses - 7 - 2 - 0 - 5 = 16.
