Question

Store A sells jeans for 7/8 of the price at Store B. Store A sells jeans for $35. Write and solve and equation to find how much money you save by buying jeans at Store A.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x be the cost of Jeans at Store B

`(7)/(8)*x=35\\\\x=(35*8)/(7)=5*8\\`

x = $40

Savings = 40 - 35 = $5
