Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = cost of desktop computer; then x - 250 = cost of laptop computer

converting % to decimals, 9% = 0.09 and 6% = 0.06

Then, 0.09x + (x - 250)0.06 = $300

0.09x + 0.06x - 15 = $300

0.15x = $315

x = $2100

then x - 250 = $1850

Proof: $2100•0.09 + 1850•0.06 = $189 + $111 = $300
