Short Answer
At a certain university, three bookstores - the University Bookstore, the Campus Bookstore, and the Book Mart - currently serve the university community. From a survey conducted at the beginning of the fall quarter, it was found that the University Bookstore and the Campus Bookstore each had 40% of the market, whereas the Book Mart had 20% of the market. Each quarter the University Bookstore retains 80% of its customers, but loses 5% to the Campus Bookstore and 15% to the Book Mart. The Campus Bookstore retains 90% of its customers, but loses 5% to the University Bookstore and 5% to the Book Mart. The Book Mart retains 70% of its customers, but loses 5% to the University Bookstore and 25% to the Campus Bookstore.
