    The total number of magazine copies that the bookstore has is 96.

    On the first day, the bookstore sold 1/3 copies ofmagazine among the total of 96.

    Then the number of magazines sold on the yesterday = 96 * (1/3)

    = 32

    Number of magazines left in the bookstore now = 96 - 32

    = 64

    So the bookstore sold 23 magazines on the yesterday.

    Number of magazines sold by the bookstore today is 1/8 of the total magazines left.

    Then the number of magazines sold today by the bookstore = 64 * (1/8)

    = 8

    Then the number of copies that the bookstore has left = 64 - 8

    = 56
