how much does an average ticket cost in each of these countries
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the average ticket cost in Japan
y = the average ticket cost in Switzerland
it cost 80.16 for 5 movie tickets total. 3 from japan and 2 from Switzerland
3x + 2y = 80.16
3 tickets from Switzerland and 2 from japan would cost 76.64
2x + 3y = 76.64
by solving the system of equations
3x + 2y = 80.16
2x + 3y = 76.64
we find
x = $17.44
y = $13.92
the cost of the ticket in Japan is $17.44.
the cost of the ticket in Switzerland is $13.92.
