A store decides to shut down and sell all of its inventory. They have 2000 different items which would normally retail for $50. They are offering an 80% discount and manage to sell 90% of the items. They owed $15000 to their creditors. How much money do they have left after the sale?
Use reasoning to answer the following question.
3000
They sold 2000 *.

9 = 1800 items.

They offered a 50 *.

8 = $40 discount.

That means that each item sold for 50 - 40 = $10.

So they made 1800 * 10 = $18,000.

So they had 18,000 - 15,000 = $3,000 leftover.

.

The final answer: 3000
