All Items have an Item Quality and a Item State. There are Five Teirs of Item Quality, Teirs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. All Items in State A begin this process in Teir 1 Quality. The Items in State A go through a transformation into State B, and in this transformation, 10% of the items increase their quality by 1. If an Item's quality is not increased under the transformation from State A to State B, there Is a 75% Chance that the Item will be destroyed, and a 25% chance that the item will undergo a Transformation from State B to State A, whilst retaining its quality. What percentage of Items with State A will Not be Destroyed when all Items have State B?

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.

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.
