Question
Two months ago, Bernard had a total of 1,389 books in his bookshop. He sold 644 books last month and 579 books the month before.How many books does he have now?
Solution
To find out how many books Bernard has now, we need to subtract the number of books he sold from the total number of books he had.
Step 1: Add the number of books Bernard sold in the last two months. 644 (books sold last month) + 579 (books sold the month before) = 1223 books sold in total.
Step 2: Subtract the total number of books sold from the initial number of books Bernard had. 1389 (initial number of books) - 1223 (total books sold) = 166 books.
So, Bernard has 166 books left in his bookshop now.
