Answer:

X= 5Y

      4

Explanation:

Jim earns $x per hour

he takes 4 hours to earn enough to buy a particular jacket

therefore = (x) ×4

                = 4x ( value of Jacket)

Tom earns $Y per hour

it takes him 5 hours to earn enough to buy the same jacket

therefore (y) × 5

    = 5Y price of jacket

Cost of Jacket

4X=5Y

x= 5Y ( Cost of the Jacket)

     4
