Answer:
$5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of jeans at store b be $x.
Let the price of jeans at store a be $7x/8.

Answer: 19 macaroons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create an equation to represent this situation. Let x represent the number of macaroons that Em made.
33=x+x+5
33=2x+5
33-5=2x+5-5
28=2x
28/2=2x/2
14=x
This means that Em made 14 macaroons.
14+5=19
Therefore, Jim baked 19 macaroons.
