Answer:

The bookstore has 48 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

If yesterday the bookstore solve 1/4 of 80 magazines then it sold:


(1)/(4) X 80 →
(80)/(4)[/tex} → &nbsp;20 </p><p> </p><p>So at the end of the day it had &nbsp;</p><p>80-20</p><p> magazines left or 60 total magazines left. </p><p> </p><p>Today it sold 185 of 60 (the total left from yesterday) or: </p><p>[tex](1)/(5) X 60 →
(60)/(5) → 12

So, at the end of today it had

60-12

magazines left or 48 total magazines left.
