x+75000+x=625000
2x=625000-75000
2x=550000
x=550000/2
x=275000 (B)
x+75000=350000 (A)

In a recent year, the total sales at Restaurant A were $75,000 more than at Restaurant B. Total sales at the two stores were $625,000. What were the sales for the year at each store?
--------------------------------
B sales: x
A sales: x + 75000
-------------------------
Equations:
A + B = 625,000
x + 75000 + x = 625,000
2x = 550,000
x = 275,000 (B sales)
x + 75,000 = 350,000 (A sales)
===============================
