Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the sequence of events described in the question.

1. **Initial Number of Toys**: The shop starts with 239 toys.
\[ \text{Initial toys} = 239 \]

2. **Toys Brought In**: The shopkeeper brings in 70 more toys.
\[ \text{Toys after bringing in} = 239 + 70 = 309 \]

3. **Toys Sold**: The shopkeeper sells 152 toys from the total.
\[ \text{Toys left after selling} = 309 - 152 = 157 \]

4. **Final Count of Toys**: The number of toys left in the shop is 157.

Thus, the number of toys left is **157**.
