A certain bookstore chain has two stores, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles. It stocks three kinds of books: hardcover, softcover, and plastic (for infants). At the beginning of January, the central computer showed the following books in stock. Hard Soft Plastic
San Francisco 1,000 2,000 6,000
