X = B.......x - 17 = A

x + x - 17 = 87
2x - 17 = 87
2x = 87 + 17
2x = 104
x = 104/2
x = 52........so state B has 52 electoral votes

x - 17 = A
52 - 17 = A
35 = A.....so state A has 35 electoral votes

Since we know that 1/4 is equal to 25%, or 0.25 in decimal form, we are able to work with 0.75 in the expression.

We are told to use j as the original price of the jeans, so we can set up the expression:

$j-0.25j$

to represent the cost of the jeans with the discount.

Then to simplify, we simply take out j as a common factor, and solve what's in the parentheses:

$j(1-0.25)$

$j(0.75)$ or $0.75j$

Using this equation, we can solve for the b part of the question. If the pair of jeans originally costs $60, plug in 60 to where j is in the expression:

$0.75j$

$0.75(60)=45$

Therefore, the cost of the jeans after the discount is C) $45.
