Charmaine bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer.

Charmaine bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $350 more than the desktop. She paid for the computers using two different financing plans. For the desktop the interest rate was 7% per year, and for the laptop it was 6% per year. The total finance charges for one year were $398. How much did each computer cost before finance charges? Note that the ALEKS graphing calculator can be used to make computations easier.
