    9 bottles of shampoo left.

    Why?

    Let x represent the number of bottles of shampoo that the shop has left.

    Let f represent the number of bottles of shampoo Felix buys.

    Let a represent the number of bottles of shampoo Anita buys.

    This means that x = 30 - (f + a)

    So, f = (2/5) * 30

    f = 12

    So, a = (3/10) * 30

    a = 9

    Plug it into our equation;

    x = 30 - (f + a)

    x = 30 - (12 + 9)

    x = 30 - 21

    x = 9

    Therefore, the shop has 9 bottles of shampoo left.
