For each order, a mail-order bookseller charges a fixed processing fee and an additional shipping fee for each book in the order. Rajeev placed five different orders with this bookseller - an order for 1 book in January, an order for 2 books in February, an order for 3 books in March, an order for 4 books in April, and an order for 5 books in May. What was the total of Rajeev's processing and the shipping fee for these five orders?

1) Rajeev's processing and shipping fees were $1 more for his order in March than for his order in January
2) The total of Rajeev's shipping fees for the five orders was $7.50

Statement 1: \(y+x+1=y+3x \,\Rightarrow\, 1=2x \,\Rightarrow\, \frac{1}{2}=x\) Nothing about the fixed fee. Insufficient.

Statement 2: \(15x=7.50\). Again \(x=\frac{1}{2}\). Insufficient.

Together: Insufficient. Therefore, __E__
