The same type of television is being sold at 2 different stores. Store A is selling the television for $800 which is $120 more than half the cost of the television at store B. Write and solve an equation to determine the selling price for the television at Store B

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.

54 it just is
