    Yes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    At Bookstore X more than 1,000 books were sold.

    say 1000+x, where x, a positive number is the number of books more sold.

    At Bookstore Y, fewer than 1,000 books were sold.

    Say 1000-y, where y a positive number is the number of fewer books sold at Store Y.

    1000+x>1000-y

    For positive x and y

    Therefore, the number of books sold at Bookstore X were more than those sold at Bookstore Y.
