Lizzy: A tractor trailer has a load of 50000 pounds. 10% of the weight gets unloaded at the first store, and 20% of the remaining load is removed at the second store. How much weight, in pounds, is left on the truck after the two deliveries?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:

First Store:50000(.10) = 5000. 50000 - 5000 = 45000 pounds. Second Store:45000(.20) = 9000. 45000 - 9000 = 36000 pounds. Final answer: 36000.
