Answers:

First box = 57.14

Second box = 80

=============================================

Explanation:

If you save 65%, then you pay the remaining 35%

0.35x is the final price when x is the original price

0.35x = 20 solves to x = 57.14 approximately after dividing both sides by 0.35

57.14 goes in the first box

--------------

This must mean 80 goes in the other box.

Here's the steps on how to get 80

If you save 75% then you pay the remaining 25%

0.25x = 20

x = 20/0.25

x = 80

80 goes in the second box
