The price of a headphones at Store A is 3/4 the price at Store B. The price at Store A is 89.25. Find how much you save by buying the headphones Store A

Answer 1

A = (3/4) B

89.25 = (3/4) B

(4/3)(89.25) = (4/3)(3/4) B

(4/3)(89.25) = B

Can you multiply and answer?

Answer 2

Could also set up a proportion:

3/4 = Price A/PriceB

Cross multiply: 3(PriceB) = 4(89.25)

PriceB = 4(89.25)/3

Once you've calculated Price B, need to subtract the $89.25 to find the dollar amount saved by shopping at A.
