The equation you are asking for is

6*a + 8*d = 4063.50 + d*1.25     (dollars).


     But notice that the equation contains two unknowns, a and c  (if they really are unknowns, as it usually happens in such problems).

     Then one equation is not enough to solve for TWO unknowns.

     Therefore, the additional info might be needed to make the problem posed correctly.
