During an auction, Jerome sold 75% of the first 1,000 items he offered for sale and 30% of his remaining items. If he sold 40% of the total number of items he offered for sale, how many items did Jerome offer for sale?

Let total item offered for sale = x

According to the given question,
=> 0.75*1000 + 0.30*(x-1000) = 0.40x
=> 0.10x = 450
=> x=4500

Therefore E

­It says that he sold 30% of his remaining items, which should include the 250 he didn't sell initially.
So, the answer should be 5250
