Your formula would be 3(p+0.75)=5.88


Because you have 3 pounds and 0.75 for each.

Solving the equation by distributing, you will get P=1.21


Hope this helps!

Let x = new apple price

Let y = $0.75 additional price

Let z = original price

3 pounds = apple Sam bought

$5.88 = total amount of apples Sam bought

1st,  let us divide 3 pounds from $5.88

5.88 ÷ 3 = 1.96 this is the new apple price per pound.

 X = $1.96

2nd, if you want to find the original price of the apples per pound before the increase, we just need to subtract the X to Y.

$1.96 –$ 0.75 = $1.21 is the original price of apple before the increase.

I am assuming that it only 3 pounds of apples, since it will be a negative / void if it will be 333 pounds, or even 33 pounds.
