Additional comment

Note that for the given values of sales, the prices are not integer numbers of cents. The actual values are (x, y) = (4 17/52, 3 10/13). This is unexpected, and suggests that the problem is not carefully considered. With the prices we computed, the sale values would be $221.35 and $191.30. These don't look like numbers where a typo would be involved.
