She is correct, first of all, to add 7/8 and 5/6; you must have common denominators so make 7/8 into 42/48 and make 5/6 into 40/48. Then just add them together now, and it will be 82/48. This when you divide 82/48 it will be 1 17/24. So, your answer is, yes, Kit is right.

Answer:
The price of the computer is $1,152
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of the computer be $x
The first boy boy had 7/8 of this amount, the amount he has is thus 7/8 × $x = 7x/8
The second boy had 5/6 of what the first boy had. The amount of money he has is thus 5/6 × 7x/8 = 35x/48
Now, the addition of what they have is $696 more than what they need to pay. This amount is x+ 696
Mathematically, this can be represented as;
7x/8 + 35x/48 = x + 696
(42x + 35x)/48 = (x + 696)
77x/48 = (x + 696)
77x = 48(x + 696)
77x = 48x + 33408
77x - 48x = 33408
29x = 33, 408
x = 33,408/29
x = $1,152
