From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75

Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88

so we form an equation:

3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88

3x + 2.25 = 5.88

3x = 5.88 - 2.25

3x = 3.63

x = 3.63 / 3

x = 1.21

Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars

Answer:

1.21=x

Step-by-step explanation:

Do

3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88

then 3x + 2.25 = 5.88

then 3x = 5.88 - 2.25

to 3x = 3.63

and last of allx = 3.63 / 3
