Same case as Pablo's, more or less.
a = price for the desktop
b = price for the laptop
we know the laptop is 150 bucks more than the desktop, b = a + 150.
how much is 7% of a? (7/100) * a, 0.07a.
how much is 9.5% of b? (9.5/100) * b, 0.095b.
total interests for the financing add up to 303, 0.07a + 0.095b = 303.
how much was it for the laptop? well b = a + 150.
a = price for the desktop
b = price for the laptop
