__ =73.29

Answer 1

s - 37.50 = 73.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Saturday was $37.50 more than Sunday, if you would subtract 37.50 from Saturday you would end up back with Sunday's sales.

Answer 2

x - 37.50 = 73.29

Explanation: This would be the equation used to find saturday's sales because the question specified that sunday's sales were $37.50 less than saturday's. So we just need to find out the value we are subtracting the 37.50 dollars from.

It would work out like this:

x - 37.50 = 73.29

x = 73.29 + 37.50 (Bring the value over, change the sign)

x = 110.79
