Need help I cannot figure out how to set this problem up. I am trying to help my daughter figure out what she did wrong on her test.

Here are some hints for your daughter:
They want the difference between the higher price and the lower price
The lower price = 7/8ths of the higher price
The lower price = 35
Has your daughter ever assigned a symbol to represent an unknown number (an unknown number like: "the higher price")?
What grade does your daughter attend?
