On Wednesday, it receives a shipment containing 24 copies of the book and also sells 8 copies. Write an addition expression that represents the number of copies of the book that store has at the end of the day on Wednesday. How many books does the bookstore have now?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your questions is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of copies of the book that the store has at the end of the day on Wednesday =  N

Number of copies on Monday = M = 30

books sold on Monday = m = 6

books sold in Tuesday = t = 3

Books received on Wednesday = W = 24

Books sold on wednesday = w = 8

N = M - m - t + W - w

N = 30 - 6 - 3 + 24 - 8

N = 37 books have the bookstore now.
