Average movie ticket prices in the united states are, in general, lower than other countries. It would cost in $77.87 to buy three tickets in Japan plus two tickets in Switzerland. Three tickets in Switzerland plus two tickets in Japan would cost $73.83. How much does an average movie ticket cost in each of these countries?
Let ticket in japan cost x
Let ticket in Switzerland cost y
3x+2y=77.87 ------1
3y+2x=73.83------2
Subtract the equations
x-y= 4.04 ---4
3y+2x=73.83------5
Multiply 4 by 3
3x-3y= 12.12 ----6
Add 5 & 6
5x= 85.95
X=17.19
17.19-4.04=y
= 13.15
