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 $15000 to their creditors.  How much money do they have left after the sale?
How many items did they sell? ** They sold 2000*.9=<<2000*.9=1800>>1800 items
How much did they discount the items? ** They offered a 50*.8=$<<50*.8=40>>40 discount
How much did each item sell for? ** That means that each item sold for 50-40=$<<50-40=10>>10
How much money did they make? ** So they made 1800*10=$<<1800*10=18000>>18,000
How much money did they have left after the sale? ** So they had 18,000-15,000=$<<18000-15000=3000>>3,000 leftover
