You have two unknowns so you need two equations.
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
Note that equation one is already solved for A
Plug (B + 475000) into equation 2 for A
Equation 2:

Combine like terms

Subtract 475000 from both sides.

Divide both sides by 2.

-----------------------
Now plug 274,762,500 into equation 1 for B
Equation 1:

-----------------------
Store A had $275,237,500 in sales
Store B had $274,762,500 in sales
