Our can buy 7 pillows at Jensen's for the same price that you can buy 6 pillows at Harrison's. If one pillow costs $21.21 at Harrison's, how much does one pillow cost at Jenson's? Use numbers and words to explain your answers.

Since the cost is the same, 7 times the price at Jensen's is equal to 6 times the price at Harrison's. The price you're not given is the variable, x.
7x = 6 * 21.21
