(a)
we are given
the price of apple suddenly up by $0.75
Let's assume original price be 'p'
we are given
Sam bought 3 pounds of apple at the new price total is $5.88
so, new price = old price +0.75
price of 3 apples
we are given that price is 5.88
so, we get equation as
.......Answer
(b)
Since, original price is p
so, we have to solve for p
so, original price is $1.21 per pound........Answer

Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Graph the relationship between both parameters
First, calculate the area;
This implies that: (2, 120) i.e. 2 cans for 120ft^2.
So we have:
(0,0) and (2,120)
(0,0) implies that: 0 cans for 0 square feet
Calculate the slope:
The equation is:
So, we have:
