Question

In a recent year, the total sales at restaurant A were 250,000 more than at restaurant B. The total sale at the two stores were 600,000,000. What were the sales for the year at each store?

Answer 1

set it up like x+(250,000 +x)= 600,000,000

Answer 2

so it would be 2x=599,750,000
then divide each side by two so you get x=299,875,000
then x=restaurant B and x+250,000=restaurant A
so A=300,125,000
