We'll do it in cents and convert when we have to.

Tanya paid x per item, a total of 4x.

Tony paid x-125 per item (in cents) for a total of 5(x-125)

4x = 5(x-125)

4x = 5x - 625

x = 625 = $6.25  

Check:

4(625) = 2500

5(625-125)=2500, same, checks

Answer: Tanya paid $6.25 per item, Tony $5.00 per item
