A family made an investment for 1 year that earned 750


I would like to know if I am on the right track to writin this as a "systems of equations" using the substitution process. How much further do I have to go if this is right so far?

A family made an investment for 1 year that earned $7.50 simple interest. If the principal had been $25 more and the interest rate 1% less, the interest would have been the same. Find the principal and the rate.

750/r = Pr/r, 7.50(P = 25)(p - .01), 7.50/775/r)(r - .01)
