Store and he sells jeans for 7/8 of the price at Store B. Store a sells jeans for $35. Write and solve an equation to find the cost of the jeans at store B

Respuesta :

Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Store A sells jeans for 7/8 of the price at store B

Store A= 7/8 of the price at store B

"Of" here means multiplication in mathematics.

Store A= 7/8 × store B price

But Store A sells jeans for $35

Then $35= 7/8 × store B price

To find store B price, just cross multiply, we have

StoreB price= (8×$35)/7

StoreB price=$40

Therefore, the selling price of jeans at store B is $40
