The answer to your questions is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of copies of the book that the store has at the end of the day on Wednesday = N

Number of copies on Monday = M = 30

books sold on Monday = m = 6

books sold in Tuesday = t = 3

Books received on Wednesday = W = 24

Books sold on wednesday = w = 8

N = M - m - t + W - w

N = 30 - 6 - 3 + 24 - 8

N = 37 books have the bookstore now.
