For the answer to the two questions above,
3x + 2y = 36.50 (I)
2x + 5y = 50 (II)
Eliminating x from the two equations by subtraction:
first we multiply equation I by 2 and equation II by 3
6x + 4y = 73
6x + 15y = 150
Subtracting the two,
-11y = -77
y = 7
He earns $7 at the coffee cart
Substituting y into equation I,
3x + 14 = 36.5
x = $7.50
So we can conclude that, he earns a greater wage of $7.50 at the library,
Answer:

Using proportions, it is found that the computer will cost $1,043.04.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of total amount.
In this problem, the total amount is composed by:
- An initial payment of $150.
- 6% sales tax, which means that the price is increased by 6%, that is, the previous amount is multiplied by 1.06.
Hence, the cost is given by:
C = 1.06 x (150 + 12 x 69.50) = 1043.04.
The computer will cost $1,043.04.
