Answer 1

Given:

a.) A bookstore had 96 copies of magazines yesterday it’s sold 1/4 of them today.

b.) It sold 1/3 of what remained.

Let's determine how many copies of the magazines are left.

Step 1: A bookstore had 96 copies of magazines yesterday it’s sold 1/4 of them today.

`\text{ 96 x }(1)/(4)\text{ = }(96)/(1)\text{ x }(1)/(4)\text{ = }(96)/(4)\text{ = }24`

Remaining copies = 96 - 24 = 72 magazines

Step 2: It sold 1/3 of what remained.

`\text{ 72 x }(1)/(3)\text{ = }(72)/(1)\text{ x }(1)/(3)\text{ = }(72)/(3)\text{ = }24`

Remaining copies = 72 - 24 = 58 magazines

Therefore, 58 copies of magazines are left.

The answer is 58.
