Two cars got an oil change at the same auto shop. The shop charges customers for each quart of oil plus a flat fee for labor. The oil change for one car required 5 quarts of oil and cost $24.35. The oil change for the other car required 7 quarts of oil and cost $28.35. How much is the labor fee and how much is each quart of oil?

First, you would need to find the oil costs without the labor fee. Easiest way to do this is to subtract 24.35 from 28.35, resulting in 4. 4/2 (subtract 5 from 7) gets you 2, so the oil costs $2 per quart. To get the labor, multiply 5 by 2 and subtract that value from 24.35, which gets you $14.35 for labor costs.
