You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +x+ = the amount that store B made
Store A made +x+%2B+275000+
given:
+x+%2B+%28+x+%2B+275000+%29+=+625000000+
+2x+=+625000000+-+275000+
+2x+=+624725000+
+x+=+312362500+
+x+%2B+275000+=+312637500+
Store B made $312,362,500
Store A made $312,637,500
check:
+312362500+%2B+312637500+=+625000000+
625000000+=+625000000+
OK
