Three tickets in Switzerland plus two tickets from Japan would cost $76.24. 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, x>0
y = the average ticket cost is Switzerland, y>0
It would cost $79.81 to buy three tickets in Japan plus two tickets in Switzerland:
3x + 2y = 79.81
Three tickets in Switzerland plus two tickets from Japan would cost $76.24:
3y + 2x = 76.24
We have the following system of equations:
3x + 2y = 79.81
3y + 2x = 76.24
