what is the average cost

Question

Average movie prices in the United States​ are, in​ general, lower than in other countries. It would cost ​$78.03 to buy three tickets in Japan plus two tickets in Switzerland. Three tickets in Switzerland plus two tickets in Japan would cost $74.47. How much does an average movie ticket cost in each of these​ countries?

Answer 1

x: ticket price in Switzerland

y: ticket price in Japan

2 x + 3 y = 78.03

3 x + 2 y = 74.47

Solve for x and y:

x=13.47 (in $)

y=17.03 (in $)
