750x + 17y = 141.61
300x + 30y = 75.90
karina solves the system using linear combination and arrives at the equation 116y = 96.28. she then solves this equation for y. which statement explains karina’s solution?

the cost of electricity is $0.17 per unit.
the cost of natural gas is $0.20 per unit.
the cost of electricity is $0.72 per unit.
the cost of natural gas is $0.83 per unit.
