A small fruit basket with 6 apples and 6 oranges costs $7.50. A different fruit basket with 10 apples and 5 oranges costs $8.75. If x is the cost of one apple and y is the cost of one orange, the system of equations below can be used to determine the cost of one apple and one orange.

6x + 6y = 7.50
10x + 5y = 8.75
What is the cost of one apple?
