Answer: the selling price of the television at store B is $1360

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the selling price of the television at store B is represented by $B. Store A is selling the television for $800, which is $120 more than half the cost of the television at store B. The equation representing this situation is expressed as

800 = B/2 + 120

Multiplying the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 2, it becomes

1600 = B + 240

B = 1600 - 240

B = $1360
