    Total Cost : y = 2.75 + m (1), where m = cost of each item

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The cost of admission and 3 samples = $5.75

    The cost of admission and 6 samples = $8.75.

    Cost is represented by y,

    The number of Samples = x

    Let the admission charge is each case = $ a.

    ⇒ Total Cost y = a + (Number of items tasted x Cost of each item)

    So, according to the question:

    First Case:

    a + 3x = $ 5.75

    Second Case:

    a + 6x = $ 8.75

    Solving the above system of equations, we get a = $ 2.75

    And, if a = $2.75 then x = 1

    Hence, the Total Cost y = 2.75 + m (1), here m = cost of each item
