Problema Solution

in recent year, total sales at Restaurant A was $50000 more than Restaurant B. Total sales at the two stores were $600000000. What were the sales for the year at each store?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the sales at Restaurant A, then 'x-50000' represents the sales at Restaurant B


600000000 = x + x-50000

solving for 'x' we have x=300025000


sales at Restaurant A were $300,025,000

sales at Restaurant B were $299,997,500
