A bookstore had 

45

 copies of a magazine. Yesterday, it sold 

1/3

 of them. Today, it sold 

1/5

 of what remained. How many copies does the bookstore have left?

remainder = 45*(1-1/3)*(1-1/5)

 

You can crunch the numbers.

Day 1: It had 45

Day 2: After selling 1/3 of them it has 2/3 * 45 = 30 magazines.

Day 3: After selling 1/5 of them it has 4/5 * 30 = 24 magazines.

 

It has 24 magazines
