The answer for the question in problem would be $125 is the price of hotel per night. This is computed by establishing the equations from the given statements, 3x + 4y = 625 and 4x + 5y = 875. And by substitution you would get the answer of 125 as the price per night n the hotel and 75 per day for the rental of car.
