5x + 300y = 178
4x + 500y = 197

Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by -3.

25x + 1500y = 890
-12x - 1500y = -591 Subtract.
------------------------------
13x = 299 Divide.

x = 23.

Solve for y by plugging in 23 for x.

4(23) + 500y = 197

92 + 500y = 197

500y = 105

y = .21


The Daily Fee is $23 and the Charge Fee per mile is $0.21.

In winter, the price of apples suddenly went up by$0.75 per pound. Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at the new price for a total of
White raven [17]

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
