Let's break down the solution:

1. Define Initial Conditions:

   • All items in State A start at Quality Tier 1.
   • During the transformation from State A to State B:
     • 10% of items increase their quality by 1.
     • 90% do not increase in quality.

2. Non-Quality-Increased Items:

   • For the 90% of items that do not increase in quality:
     • 75% will be destroyed.
     • 25% will transform back to State A, retaining their quality.

3. Calculate Survival Rate:

   • For every 100 items in State A:
     • 10 items increase in quality and successfully reach State B (no destruction).
     • 90 items do not increase in quality:
       • 75% of these 90 items, or 67.5 items, will be destroyed.
       • 25% of these 90 items, or 22.5 items, will retain their quality and transform back to State A.

4. Calculate Percentage of Items Not Destroyed:

   • Out of the original 100 items in State A:
     • 10 items that increase in quality are not destroyed.
     • 22.5 items retain their quality and survive by transforming back to State A.
   • This gives a total of 10 + 22.5 = 32.5 items that are not destroyed.

5. Result:

   • Therefore, the percentage of items that are not destroyed is: $\frac{32.5}{100} \times 100 = 32.5\%$

Answer: 32.5% of items with State A will not be destroyed when all items have reached State B.

Would you like additional clarification on any step, or to explore a related scenario?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:

1. What would the survival rate be if the chance of quality increase were 15% instead of 10%?
2. How would the outcome change if destroyed items were allowed a 5% chance of restoration?
3. What happens to the quality distribution if multiple cycles of transformation are applied?
4. How would the results vary if each quality tier had different transformation probabilities?
5. How can we calculate the expected final quality distribution across all tiers?

Tip: Understanding probabilities in chains of transformations can help model complex scenarios, especially with dependencies like "destroyed" versus "retained" states.
